The United States Central Command, US CENTCOM, has confirmed the deaths of four crew members after a US refuelling aircraft crashed in western Iraq yesterday. In a statement, the US CENTCOM said that a Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker went down yesterday, with six crew members on board the aircraft at the time of the incident. CENTCOM further clarified that the loss of the aircraft was not caused by hostile fire or friendly fire.
However, Iran’s state media, citing the spokesman for the Central Headquarters of Iran’s Military, claimed that the US military refuelling plane was shot down by a missile fired by resistance groups in Western Iraq.
