Six Americans killed after US refuelling jet crashes in Iraq

A US KC-135 refuelling aircraft crashed in western Iraq, killing all six American soldiers on board. The incident occurred during Operation Epic Fury, part of a broader conflict described as a US-Israeli war on Iran, bringing the total US personnel killed to 13. While US Central Command asserted the crash was not due to hostile fire, an investigation is ongoing, and it occurred shortly after Iran's new supreme leader threatened to open new fronts against the US and Israel. The Pentagon has been vague about total casualty numbers, but it was recently revealed that at least 150 US personnel have been wounded in the conflict.
