Iran-America war: American military plane crashes in Iraq, loss of 4 planes so far in the war

News India Live, Digital Desk: The conflict between America and Iran is now taking an even more deadly turn. According to the latest news coming from Iraq, a US military plane has crashed. With this incident, America has so far lost 4 of its important military aircraft in the current war, which has become a matter of great concern for the Pentagon.

How did the accident happen in Iraq? According to initial reports, the US plane was on a strategic mission in Iraq’s airspace when it crashed due to a technical fault or possible attack. However, it is not yet clear whether the plane was targeted by Iranian-backed militias or it was an accident. Official confirmation regarding the number of casualties and the model of the aircraft in this incident is awaited.

America’s biggest loss so far in the war America’s air power is facing continuous challenges in this fierce conflict going on in the Middle East:

Number of aircraft: This is the fourth American aircraft of this war that has been destroyed. Even before this, there were reports of loss of American drones and fighter planes in Syria and the Gulf region.

Strategic Pressure: The downing of the planes one after the other is raising questions on America’s ‘air superiority’, especially when Iran is claiming its advanced missile defense systems.

Trump administration and Iran’s retaliation President Donald Trump had recently warned that if there was another attack on America, its consequences would be ‘incalculable’. On the other hand, Iran’s top leadership has made it clear that they will go to any extent to protect their sovereignty and avenge the death of the Supreme Leader. This recent crash in Iraq may further inflame the ongoing ‘fire of revenge’ between the two countries.

Threat to global security Experts believe that the land of Iraq has once again transformed into the arena of superpowers. Due to this loss of aircraft, America may change its war policy (Rules of Engagement), due to which the possibility of direct conflict has increased further.
