U.S. names troops killed in Iraq aircraft crash while supporting Iran war - The Washington Post
Overview
The Pentagon identified the six U.S. service members killed when a KC-135 refueling aircraft crashed in western Iraq while supporting operations related to Iran. U.S. officials said the tanker was lost in an apparent midair accident with another tanker over friendly airspace. The reported IRGC shootdown of a USAF F-15E, with corroborating debris images, further demonstrates elevated threats to U.S. aircrews and may influence force protection measures, investigations, and operational tempo in the region.
