Activity over the Strait of Hormuz is increasing with the arrival of more US Air Force KC-135 Stratotankers and an E-3 Sentry airborne early warning and control aircraft inbound to the area. This follows earlier deployment of at least four KC-135 tankers over the strait amid heightened tensions with Iran. The additional assets bolster US aerial refueling and surveillance capabilities in the region.
