A U.S. military refuelling aircraft has crashed in western Iraq, killing all six crew members on board. The aircraft, a Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker, plays a crucial role in modern air warfare by refuelling fighter jets mid-air and extending their combat missions. But the real mystery is how the crash happened. The U.S. military says it was not shot down and may have occurred during a complex aerial refuelling manoeuvre. However, Iran-linked militias in Iraq claim they brought the aircraft down. With two conflicting narratives and no clear proof yet, investigators are still searching for answers. Was it an accident, or another escalation in the growing regional conflict? Palki Sharma tells you.
