All six crew members aboard a U.S. military KC-135 refueling aircraft that crashed in western Iraq have been confirmed dead.
The crash occurred Thursday and involved a second KC-135 aircraft, which landed safely.
U.S. Central Command says the incident was not caused by hostile or friendly fire.
Officials say the cause of the crash remains under investigation.
The deaths come as U.S. operations against Iran continue across the region.
Iran’s new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, has likely been wounded and may be disfigured, according to U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
Hegseth made the comments during a briefing Friday, saying intelligence suggests Khamenei was injured amid ongoing attacks connected to the conflict in the region.
The defense secretary also said Iran’s leadership is currently “on the run” as pressure mounts following strikes tied to the broader war involving Iran, Israel and U.S. forces.
The remarks come as tensions in the Middle East continue to escalate, with both sides trading attacks and regional security concerns growing.
Radical Islamic terrorism struck yet again on Thursday—this time, in both Michigan and Virginia. That makes four separate Islamist terror attacks on the home front just in the past two weeks. At what point is enough finally enough? What can we do about this gargantuan subversive fifth column in our midst? All options, including deportation and denaturalization proceedings, must be on the table. Josh also offers a personal, direct plea to American Jews to arm and train themselves, and to take their security into their own hands.
Later, Heather Johnston, Founder and Executive Director of the U.S. Israel Education Association, joins the program to discuss the war with Iran, the importance of U.S.-Israel relations, and the unholy war that many propagandists are now waging on the indispensable Jewish-Christian biblical alliance. Josh closes the show by analyzing the latest war-related comments from Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and indicating what specifically he will be looking out for over the course of the weekend.
Michigan Democrat Senator Elissa Slotkin hypocritically calls for DHS funding just a day after voting against it. This flip-flop highlights Democrats' dangerous reluctance to fund ICE and secure borders, rooting against America's safety until disaster hits home.
Iran-linked hackers are expanding cyberattacks as the conflict in the Middle East continues.
Security experts say pro-Iranian hackers have targeted websites and data centers in the region and are now reaching into the United States.
The group claimed responsibility for a cyberattack on a U.S. medical device company and attempted to access security cameras to assist with missile targeting.
Officials warn that critical infrastructure, including ports, water systems, and power plants, could be at risk as cyber threats escalate.
Iran’s new supreme leader is vowing to continue attacks across the region in his first public statement since taking power.
Mojtaba Khamenei said Iran will keep up strikes against Gulf Arab neighbors and use the Strait of Hormuz as leverage against the United States and Israel.
The statement was read on Iranian state television Thursday.
Khamenei also vowed to avenge those killed in the war, including more than 165 people who died in a deadly strike on a school.
Police responded to reports of an active shooter at a synagogue in the Detroit area Thursday.
Authorities say a truck crashed into Temple Israel in West Bloomfield Township, where smoke was seen coming from the roof of the building. Officials say synagogue security exchanged gunfire with the suspect, who has now been confirmed dead.
Dozens of police vehicles surrounded the building as authorities worked to secure the scene and clear the area.
Jewish organizations in the region were advised to follow lockout protocols during the incident.
Officials have not released additional details about possible injuries. This remains a developing story. Stick with SNC for updates as more information becomes available.
Iran has stepped up attacks on oil and transport facilities across the Middle East, raising fears of a prolonged disruption to global energy supplies.
Reports show Iranian forces set fire to two oil tankers in Iraqi waters, leaving the vessels burning after they were struck by explosive-laden boats. One crew member was killed and dozens of others were rescued.
The attacks come as Iran’s new supreme leader vows to keep the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz closed, using the major shipping route as leverage against the United States and Israel during the ongoing war.
Roughly one-fifth of the world’s oil normally passes through the narrow waterway, and disruptions there have already pushed global oil prices higher and stranded hundreds of ships in the region.
The latest tanker attacks mark a significant escalation in the conflict, with shipping companies and governments closely monitoring the situation as tensions continue to rise.

Jewish organizations in the region have been advised to follow lockout protocols while authorities work to secure the scene.

Josh opens the show by discussing the latest twists and turns in Operation Epic Fury. Mojtaba Khamenei is badly injured and governing as something of a "ghost ayatollah"—so who is calling the shots inside Iran? Also, what is the next step and the end game of this operation? Josh also begins to unravel the ongoing information operation against the Jewish-Christian biblical alliance, which has as its poisonous tip of the spear—who else?—Tucker Carlson himself.
Later, Erick Stakelbeck, host of "Stakelbeck Tonight" on TBN and "The Watchman Newscast" on YouTube, joins Josh to discuss how to define victory in Operation Epic Fury, the great gaslighting operation that intends to unravel the indispensable Jewish-Christian biblical alliance, and why Christian Zionism and the concept of "Judeo-Christianity" flow naturally from Scripture and common sense alike. You don't want to miss this no holds barred conversation.
