A US military Boeing KC-135R Stratotanker reportedly transmitted a 7700 general emergency signal while flying over Israel, following a sharp drop in speed and altitude. Meanwhile, Iran claims that oil tankers caught fire after striking mines in the Strait of Hormuz, raising fresh concerns about the safety of commercial shipping. A separate maritime incident involving a vessel near Oman was reported by the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO), adding to regional security concerns. Firstpost examines the aircraft emergency, the competing maritime developments and the renewed risk of a second round of US-Israeli military confrontation with Iran.
