U.S. military names six killed in plane crash as Iran war enters third week
As the Middle‑East war enters its third week, Israel ramps up strikes on western Iran while the United States mourns six service members killed in a KC‑135 crash over Iraq, a loss the Pentagon says was not caused by hostile fire but that an Iranian proxy claims responsibility. The incident lifts U.S. casualties to 13, intensifying tensions as Tehran vows retaliation and President Trump questions the health of Iran’s new supreme leader.
