Six Dead after U.S. Air Force Refueler Crashes in Iraq while Supporting U.S./Israel and Iran War

All six service members aboard a U.S. Air Force refueling aircraft that crashed in Iraq while supporting operations in Iran are dead, military officials said Friday.

The KC-135 refueling aircraft was lost while flying over friendly airspace Thursday in western Iraq, U.S. Central Command said, in an apparent midair accident with another aircraft.

Centcom’s announcement brought the death toll of the crash from four to six, after earlier saying that rescue efforts were underway for the last two crew members. "The circumstances of the incident are under investigation," the Centcom statement said, adding that the identities of the deceased personnel would be withheld for 24 hours while next of kin were notified.
