CoinEx News: The U.S. military said it had completed strikes against Iran in retaliation for the downing of an Army helicopter. A U.S. official told CNN that the Trump administration believes the strikes will not hinder war talks, while Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said Tehran launched retaliatory strikes toward U.S. targets in the region.

The key signal for crypto markets is not only the exchange of fire, but Washington’s attempt to frame the action as a contained response, keeping traders focused on whether Middle East risk premium fades or returns through renewed retaliation.
