> A source in Middle Eastern air traffic control services says at least five US military refueling transport aircraft are flying over the Persian Gulf’s neutral waters, including near the boundary of airspace controlled by Iranian controllers. The KC-135R and KC-46A aircraft are reportedly flying at about 8 kilometers, partly along civilian corridors. Donald Trump said he would not rule out renewed US strikes on Iran.
