Adding to this. CBS reporter says the other KC-135 aircraft โwas hit, but landed in Israel.โ
The CBS journalist was forced to delete the tweet btw. ๐ซ
Western Journalists trying not to lie challenge:
Seems very unlikely that a refueling aircraft can go down and there be any survivors. Their only hope would be that it had emptied its entire tank but I'm really not sure the likelihood of that.
This is going to more horrific optics for Trump. Regardless of if it was Iran or a collision probably looking at 6 us military incinerated. Not sure which is a worse look for Trump, because another accident after 2 jets were lost to friendly fire is really pointing to general incompetence in the ranks.
๐ฎ๐ถ๐บ๐ธ| PMU-affiliated Iraqi channels are saying the KC-135 refuelling aircraft was shot down by Iraqi resistance forces, despite CENTCOM claiming it was an innocent accident.
