Press TV – March 12, 2026
Iraq’s resistance groups have struck down a US Air Force KC-135 Stratotanker, a symbol of American overreach and aggression.
The spokesman for the Central Headquarters of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) of Iran stated on Thursday night that the US military refueling plane was shot down by a missile fired by resistance groups in western Iraq. All of its crew were killed. Six service members were aboard the downed tanker.
The Public Relations Department of the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) also said in a statement that the air defense systems of the Resistance Front succeeded in targeting a Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker tanker while it was refueling an aggressor fighter jet, killing six of its crew members
The aircraft plummeted from the skies in a blaze of righteous retribution, claiming the lives of its crew who had dared to infringe upon sovereign lands.
The United States acknowledged that one of its aircraft had crashed in western Iraq.
According to US Central Command (CENTCOM), the incident involved two aircraft, with one going down in friendly airspace and the other landing safely in Israel.
CENTCOM confirmed the crash in a statement, claiming that it was not the result of hostile or friendly fire.
“US Central Command is aware of the loss of a US KC-135 refueling aircraft,” the statement read. “The incident occurred in friendly airspace during Operation Epic Fury, and rescue efforts are ongoing.”
The aircraft was downed amid heightened US military activity in the region as part of the US and Israeli military aggression against Iran.
The KC-135, a workhorse of the US Air Force since the 1950s, plays a critical role in extending the range of fighter jets and bombers by providing mid-air refueling, which has been essential for sustained airstrikes over Iran and surrounding areas.
On February 28, the United States and the Israeli regime started their unprovoked military assault on Iran. Following the aggression, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei was assassinated.
Iran began to swiftly retaliate against the criminal aggression by launching barrages of missiles and drone attacks on the Israeli-occupied territories as well as on the US bases in regional countries.
Iran has repeatedly emphasized that it only targets American positions and bases in the region and does not seek conflict with Arab countries.
US KC-135 tanker crashes in Iraq, though not from enemy fire, officials say

- A U.S. KC-135 aerial tanker has crashed in western Iraq during a routine mission, with one aircraft going down and the second landing safely, according to U.S. Central Command.
A U.S. KC-135 aerial tanker has gone down over western Iraq, military officials announced Thursday. Rescue efforts are ongoing, according to a brief news release from U.S. Central Command, or CENTCOM.
The incident took place in uncontested airspace while it was flying in support of the ongoing U.S. military operations against Iran that began on Feb. 28, the news release says.
“Two aircraft were involved in the incident,” the news release says. “One of the aircraft went down in western Iraq, and the second landed safely. This was not due to hostile fire or friendly fire.”
An Associated Press reporter posted on social media that the second aircraft was also a KC-135.
No further information was immediately available about the circumstances of the incident or how many U.S. troops were aboard the KC-135. Most KC-135s fly with 3 crew members, according to an Air Force fact sheet — a pilot, co-pilot and a boom operator, who “flies” the refueling probe, or boom, from the rear of the aircraft (older models may also fly with a navigator).
To all those that say there are no such things as nuclear bombs:
We admit it. You were right. We admire you. We love you.
(Now maybe they’ll STFU.)
It can’t be Iraqi resistance fighters because:
1. Iraq is a happy democratic christian country like all of the west.
2. Hegsworth says it wasn’t.
3. Trump says something or other.
4. Nutjob says they’ve already won.
Nutjob went “missing” for five days. At the same time, the israhell “justice system” said some of their murderers didn’t rape some of their captives. Are these two connected? Nutjob likes to rape people after all…
How these air force scumbags do what they do is incomprehensible. They can’t access Iran’s military defences so they attack little girls in schools, destroy desalination plants and oil refineries.
Let’s hope that these scumbags all get torn apart by Iran in the coming weeks. In WW2 there was no internet and so most had to rely on state propaganda but NO ONE has any excuse today. They should know the truth and if they don’t it’s because they don’t want to know.
In other words the wilfully ignorant are as bad as Nuttyahoo and Trumpstein.
Some of the stories the US government and Pentagon are trying to peddle don’t add up. It’s war they have started and lots of people die in wars, but the numbers they are giving us are so fictitious that intelligent people shouldn’t try passing them off as reality. If the first victim of war is truth then the second victim in today’s political climate is plain common sense. Shut it with your goddam sh1t!
USrael is now crashing or shooting down their own planes to create the impression of a ‘real war’ with primitive wog peoples in third world sh*tholes.
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has said the US may force the Strait of Hormuz open “with an international coalition”. Tough guy USA, huh? Big brother’s got to involve lots of little brothers to continue the fight the US started. Not only that, if Trump manages to form this naval coalition then US ships will not be the first to run the gauntlet. Or maybe this is just a plan to get NATO involved without saying we’re losing and want to get NATO involved.
Actually…
…..quite surprised that U-Ass-Eh and (((Kikestan))) didn’t blame Iran.

EPSTEIN FILES FBI memo says Israel ‘compromised’ Trump, Epstein had Mossad ties and control
The document cites a source linking Jared Kushner and a religious Jewish group accused of seeking to hijack Trump’s presidency A declassified FBI memo from the Epstein files, released on Friday, includes incendiary allegations about US President Donald Trump.
The memo says that Trump was “compromised by Israel”, that convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein worked with Israeli intelligence, and that a Jewish religious group calling itself Chabad-Lubavitch sought to hijack his first term in office, into war
The memo, written in 2020, formed part of an FBI investigation into domestic or foreign influence over the US electoral process. It draws on information from a confidential human source (CHS) and appears among a vast trove of Epstein-related files released by the US Justice Department.
“CHS advised Chabad is doing everything they can to co-opt the Trump presidency,” the memo states regarding his first term.
