Well first, the entire thing was all Iran's fault. They had just caused grievous damage to another of our warships by laying mines in its path. Our sailors were justifiably in fear of imminent Iranian attack.
And second, Iran has committed many
intentional atrocities against the US, and has never apologized or made restitution. How about they go first?
Third, who says the US hasn't apologized? I didn't bother to go check, but I wouldn't be surprised if the US actually has apologized and made restitution. (But if not, then see #2 above.)
