CimaleX has informed us about new developments from the Quesh-Kibrul Iranian crisis.
Breaking news from the Strait of Hormuz :
Again the tension rises in the already troubled archipelago of Quesh-Kibrul, the islands that are in the cross-hair of aggressive Iranian military exercises during recent days; a few hours ago, while Arabian league leaders where at a meeting in Dubai, an Iranian navy Mi-8 crashed over the north east side of the main island, killing all four on board.
According to the Iranian navy spokesman the helicopter got lost during a night flight and crashed over a hill after mechanical failure, but the QKDF (Quesh Kibrul Defence Forces) chief of staff have declared that the chopper have been shot down during daylight by an Avenger AAA unit after it had repeatedly violated the Emirate airspace, and was performing aggressive manoeuvres over QKDF sensible installations.

In Dubai the Arabian league leaders have made an attempt to solve peacefully the tense situation around the Quesh-Kibrul archipelago, but the president of Iran said at press conference that will be no compromise with the US and their allies, and the Quesh-Kibrul Emirate might send out all foreign troops that are mining peace and stability in the region of the Middle East.
Meanwhile the naval blockade of the islands continues despite Iranian claims that the measure is temporarily, and only for exercise and safety purposes; today a couple of Japanese oil tankers trying to get out the Strait of Hormuz have been intercepted by Iranian corvettes inside international waters and forced to get back.

The US secretary of state appointed that Iranian claims and aggressive behaviour against the tiny Emirate have only the aim of "showing the force" to other Persian Gulf neighbours and try to mitigate the recently applied UN sanctions against the Iranian republic for its efforts in developing nuclear weapons.
US-Centcom high ranks declared that even outnumbered, US and Coalition forces in the islands could easily manage an Iranian attempt of invasion, relying on superior intelligence and technology, but one wonders how, with only a handful of MQ-9 Reapers and no more than 6 - 8 UH-60 and AH-6 choppers, and a single reinforced infantry battalion on strength.
