CNN: Four U.S. Crew Members Were Killed After a Refueling Plane Crashed in Iraq

EXCERPT:

BOLDUAN: "The breaking news this morning: U.S. Central Command confirms four of six crew members who were on board an air force refueling plane that crashed in western Iraq have been killed. Their names are being withheld until their families are notified. Rescue efforts do continue for the two other crew members, we‘re told. The circumstances around this crash under investigation, but the Pentagon does say that it was not due to hostile or friendly fire. Put it all together, 11 U.S. troops have now been killed, have died so far in the Iran war. As the war now goes into day 14, that crucial critical shipping channel, the Strait of Hormuz, becomes front and center even more than it has been, as President Trump is now saying this morning that oil tankers should 'go through the strait and show some guts.' Iran has been actively targeting ships, we have been tracking this, in the waterway with missiles and drones since the war began, and Iran is now warning that it will set oil and gas infrastructure across the region on fire if its energy sites are attacked.”
