        "summary": "The United States has launched retaliatory airstrikes against Iran following the downing of an American Apache helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz. President Donald Trump described the response as 'very strong and very powerful', while Tehran urged foreign forces to leave the strategic waterway. The escalating conflict has already disrupted global shipping lanes, pushing crude oil prices sharply higher.",
        "content": "<p>Tensions in the Middle East have reignited after United States forces\nlaunched airstrikes against Iran on Tuesday local time. President Donald\nTrump asserted the action was a retaliatory move after an American\nmilitary helicopter was shot down by the Islamic Republic a day earlier.\nIn a telephone interview with ABC News, Trump stated the US was\nresponding \u2018in a strong way\u2019 to \u2018what they did to our helicopter last\nnight\u2019. \u2018And I believe the response has to be very strong, very\npowerful, and that is what this strike means,\u2019 Trump said. US Central\nCommand (CENTCOM) confirmed that American forces began launching\ndefensive strikes against Iran at 5.00 p.m. local time under the direct\norders of the Commander-in-Chief. According to CENTCOM, the mission was\na proportional response to unwarranted Iranian aggression. Local Iranian\nmedia reported the sound of explosions along the country\u2019s southern\ncoast, near the Strait of Hormuz. The retaliatory strikes occurred just\nhours after Trump claimed that negotiations to end the war in the Middle\nEast were entering the final stages. A fragile ceasefire had been in\nplace since 8 April, but the situation heated up again after Iran and\nIsrael exchanged attacks over the previous weekend. Earlier, the US Army\nApache helicopter became the second confirmed manned aircraft Washington\nhas lost to Iranian fire, following the downing of an F-15 fighter jet\nin April. Two helicopter crew members were rescued in stable condition\nnear the coast of Oman with the assistance of a sea drone. Responding to\nthe situation, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi urged foreign\nforces to leave the Strait of Hormuz immediately to avoid the risk of\nbeing caught in crossfire. \u2018The Strait of Hormuz is NOT international\nwaters but a shared possession between Iran and Oman,\u2019 Araghchi\nstressed. \u2018Foreign forces in proximity to our territory face constant\nrisk from their own human error, pure accident, or the potential to be\ncaught in crossfire. To mitigate risk, the best solution is for them to\nleave. We prefer the language of diplomacy but can speak in other\nlanguages as well.\u2019 The widening conflict is having a direct impact on\nthe global economy. Shipping lanes in the Strait of Hormuz, which\nhandles a fifth of the world\u2019s crude oil supply, have suffered severe\ndisruption. Following the news of the latest attacks, West Texas\nIntermediate (WTI) crude oil prices immediately jumped 1.4 per cent to\ntouch US$89.40 per barrel shortly before Asian markets opened on\nWednesday morning.<\/p>",
