"Despite the heightened tensions, a full-scale war [between the U.S. and Iran] remains unlikely in the immediate term."

"Trump has been clear in his desire to resolve the issue diplomatically and avoid war [with Iran] in the Middle East."

"Despite all the hysteria of war, I'm not really seeing that on the horizon."

"It is highly unlikely that Trump will bomb Iran, not least because he vowed on the presidential campaign trail not to drag the United States into a war."

"The potential of some kind of conflict with Iran escalating into a larger regional war is very real, possibly more real than ever."

"The United States now seems close to a direct conflict that Biden (and Iran) have worked hard to avoid."

"[A] full-scale war is hardly inevitable."

"If they [Iran] don't make a deal [with the US], there will be bombing."

"Neither Iran nor Lebanese Hezbollah is at all likely to pursue such a course of action [a full-scale attack on Israel]."

"The fighting will remain contained between Israel and Iran, and will not persist for more than a few weeks."

"An all-out war between Israel and Iran is not inevitable, but it remains a serious risk."

"Israel & US manufactured a fake crisis with Iran that could lead to all-out war."

"There will be an all-out war between Israel and Iran and Iran will successfully disrupt flows through Strait of Hormuz."

"This [a wider Israeli war with Iran] is now more likely."

"[T]he Middle East is an inch away from an all-out war between Israel and Iran."

A U.S. KC-135 refueling aircraft crashed in western Iraq on Thursday during Operation Epic Fury, with rescue efforts underway. U.S. Central Command stated the crash was not due to hostile fire or friendly fire.

A U.S. KC-135 refueling aircraft crashed in western Iraq on Thursday during Operation Epic Fury, with rescue efforts underway. U.S. Central Command stated the crash was not due to hostile fire or friendly fire.

Two aircraft were involved in the incident, with one KC-135 landing safely and the other going down in western Iraq. The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, a network of Iran-backed Shia Islamist groups, claimed responsibility for downing the plane.

A spokesperson for Iran's Khatam al-Anbia Central Headquarters said all of the aircraft's personnel were killed. A U.S. official said the KC-135 that crashed had at least five crew members aboard, though KC-135s typically have a crew of three.

The KC-135 is at least the fourth U.S. military aircraft lost during operations against Iran. Three American F-15E fighters were mistakenly shot down by Kuwaiti fire last week, though all six crew members safely ejected.

Seven American troops have been killed and approximately 140 service members have been wounded since the fighting began on Feb. 28. Oil prices stayed above $100 a barrel despite U.S. efforts to boost global supplies.

KC-135 refueling aircraft play a crucial role in powering bombing raids by keeping fighter jets and bombers fueled during long-distance combat operations. The Air Mobility Command has nearly 400 tankers in its fleet.
