A single security desk report tonight says a US aerial refueling tanker is currently flying near Iran's southern borders. No details are available on its mission, origin, or whether it is supporting combat aircraft. The report follows unverified accounts from earlier tonight of US fighter jet activity in the same area.
A single security desk report on Telegram states that a US Air Force aerial refueling tanker is currently in flight near Iran's southern borders. The report does not specify the aircraft type, its origin base, or whether it is accompanying strike aircraft. The report comes about 17 minutes after The Zioneer reported on unverified claims of US fighter jets conducting extensive activity near Iran's borders (23:46 Jerusalem). The two reports, if accurate, would suggest a sustained US aerial presence in the region. The information remains unconfirmed by any official source.
