KC-135 Crash Kills Six as Marines Deploy to Support Iran Campaign

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered about 2,500 Marines to the Middle East to back escalating airstrikes, with additional ships and aircraft joining forces already in the region, as the broader conflict disrupts global oil markets and has caused civilian casualties in Iran.
