The U.S. military is identifying the six service members who died last week when a KC-135 refueling plane crashed in western Iraq. The crew members are tied to National Guard and Air Force units in Alabama, Florida and Ohio. U.S. Central Command has said the crash happened while in “friendly” airspace as part of the war with Iran. Families are remembering their loved ones as devoted parents and steady leaders. The KC-135 refuels aircraft in midair and also supports medical evacuations and other missions.

Iran has warned people to evacuate three major ports in the United Arab Emirates, including the busiest in the Middle East, as its war with the U.S. and Israel enters its third week. Tehran's warning Saturday was its first open threat to a neighboring country's non-U.S. assets. It said the U.S. had attacked Kharg Island, crucial to Iran's oil sector, from the UAE. President Donald Trump has said the U.S. destroyed military sites on Kharg Island and warned that its oil infrastructure could be next. Trump has said he hopes other countries send warships to keep the Strait of Hormuz “open and safe."
