Did Iran-backed militias just strike a U.S. Air Force aircraft over Iraq? Iraq’s resistance factions claim they shot down a KC-135 Stratotanker, the plane responsible for mid-air refueling of U.S. strike jets. <br /> <br />And that’s not all — another KC-135 was reportedly damaged in the same incident, raising alarms about escalating proxy involvement. <br /> <br />On March 12, during Operation Epic Fury, which is the joint U.S.-Israeli offensive against Iranian targets, Iraqi Iran-aligned militias claim to have taken direct action against U.S. air operations. <br /> <br />According to these groups, a surface-to-air missile brought down one KC-135 near the Iraqi-Jordanian border in Anbar province, while a second tanker was damaged and had to make an emergency landing, reportedly at Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport. <br /> <br />#USIranWar #USIsraelIranWar #USIranWarProtestUK #USIranIsraelWar #IranUSIsraelWar #IranWar #USIranWarDeployment #USIsraelIranWar2026 #IranIsraelUSWar #IranUSAWar #USIsraelIranWarEscalation #IranWar2026 #USIranWarDroneAttackWarning #TrumpIranWar #USIran #WarInIran #IsraelIranWar #USIsraelIranWarLatestDevelopments #USReactionToIranIsraelWar #IranUS #IranIsraelWar2026 #USIranWarEscalation #IranUSWar #IsraelWarIran #USIsraelIranWarCrisis<br /><br />~PR.152~HT.408~ED.102~GR.510~
