US refueling aircraft active over Persian Gulf

Two US Air Force refueling aircraft are currently flying over the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman. The presence of these tanker planes, likely KC-135 Stratotankers or KC-46 Pegasus, indicates ongoing support for combat or surveillance aircraft in the region. This activity comes amid heightened tensions between the US and Iran, including recent naval seizures and sanctions. The flight paths suggest operations focused on the strategic waterways critical to global energy supplies.
