A US Army Apache helicopter crashes near the Strait of Hormuz — Trump blames Iran and orders new strikes, breaking a one-day ceasefire. Trump and Netanyahu are now openly at odds over Lebanon and the Iran nuclear deal. Peru's presidential runoff is still undecided with 94% counted and Sánchez holding a razor-thin lead. And Zelensky visits Estonia to offer drone technology to Nordic-Baltic allies and calls US peace envoys 'very positive.'

And Peru votes Sunday in a polarizing election between a left-wing outsider and a conservative dynasty heir.
