- On Wednesday, the U.S. military launched strikes against Iran targeting air defense, ground control, and radar sites near the Strait of Hormuz, while President Donald Trump warned he would continue hitting the nation "very hard" until a deal is reached.
- Hostilities surged after the U.S. reported Iran downed an Army Apache helicopter over the Strait of Hormuz on Monday, an event Tehran dismissed as a "false pretext" for U.S. aggression.
