The Heat: Middle East Conflict | US launches new strikes

The United States military carried out air strikes against Iran in response to the shooting down of a US Army Apache helicopter flying over the Strait of Hormuz. The two crew members were rescued and are said to be unharmed.

The US Central Command described the mission as a “proportional response.” Could this jeopardize efforts to reach a peace deal?
