Trump Attends Return of US Aircrew Killed in Iran War Crash

US President Donald Trump attended the return Wednesday of six crew members killed when their refueling aircraft crashed during the Iran war.

It was the second time since the start of the conflict that Trump has traveled to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, where the remains of US troops are returned to American



soil. 

The KC-135 plane crashed in western Iraq on Thursday, bringing the number of US troops killed in the joint US-Israeli operation to at least 13. A second aircraft damaged in the incident landed safely.

"Their courage will never be forgotten," the White House said on X after the event, which was closed to the media at the request of the families.
