Within the last hour, U.S.

forces launched self-defense strikes against Iran.

Now, they came in response to the downing of a U.S.

Army helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz early Tuesday.

Earlier in the day, President Trump vowed to retaliate after blaming Iran for the attack.

In a post on social media, Trump said the two crew members involved were both safe and uninjured.

Now, the Pentagon said an autonomous surface vessel was used in their rescue.

This was the first time an unmanned vehicle was used in such an operation.

Incidentally, this attack came just hours after President Trump's most recent claim that an agreement to end the fighting with Iran was close.

That's even though tension between Israel and Lebanon threatened to push the Middle East back into a wider war.

Now, Iran's foreign minister said foreign forces in proximity to Iranian territory are at constant risk.

And he added the best solution is for them to leave.

A bill to provide nearly $70 billion for immigration enforcement has narrowly passed the House.

It now goes to President Trump for his signature.

Republicans use their majority to get the bill over the finish line, funding a pair of Homeland Security agencies through the next three years.

This bill, by the way, passed with a vote of 214 to 212 over the objection of Democrats.
