Event details

The U.S. military said it began strikes against Iran after Trump blamed Iran for the Apache helicopter crash near the Strait of Hormuz. AP reported Iranian state media heard explosions on Qeshm Island, while earlier U.S. reporting still left the crash circumstances under investigation.

Context

This moves the Apache episode from accusation and denial into direct U.S.-Iran fire. The watchpoint is whether Tehran answers the strike or keeps its diplomacy channel alive while Hormuz remains militarized.
