As I said, I don't know planes that much (I am Army, not Air Force........), and I think someone else already said that's a KC-46A.

I dont think its that complicated to tell ya truth. Iran and GCC were friendly prior to iranian revolution. After the revolution the first supreme leader was well aware that shias are a minority in most Muslim countries didn't want a confrontation with Sunnis. The rift literally started as the GCC kingdoms had exactly the same legitimacy as the Shah of Iran which was imposed by west over muslim populations. GCC were worried that if Iranian revolution was a success their own populations might get ideas. So they all along with America aided Iraq and saddam despite saddam being the aggressor. They also pushed a harsh form of islam and funded madrassas where they perpetuated sectarianismYour post, breaks down a really complicated topic in a way that feels clear and easy to follow. You can tell there is a lot of history, tension behind these two ancient cultures of Islamic world , Persia vs Arabs and fear behind every move In the region bc of this never ending rivalry

I don't know, again, I say what I heard, I lay the question out, and someone said this may have been the case.
But I do talk about it with people who know that stuff. I asked my brother, who is a Marine Pilot, and another USAF guy I know from the time I worked Joint Service Intelligence in the Pentagon. Both said it's very unlikely to have a plane clip another like this, the way the tail damage means they would have to be head-on, and you don't generally need 1 refueller going the other way around, as they would be flying a racetrack pattern in holding. You don't send a replacement tanker to the exact location (like where the other one was exactly), they usually are on stations, and there are multiple stations and altitudes at any airspace
And also, from an intelligence point of view, you don't shut down the airspace because of two aircraft that collided head-on; there wasn't anyone flying in the whole of Iraq right now. The timing just didn't seem right. And they can't be all turning their transponder off, because, well, sure, fighter sortie, I get it, but heavies? Well, you just had a head-on collision within the airspace, turning off the transponder is the opposite of trying to remedy the situation.
But of course, those are all just conjecture. Can the two aircrew pair be that careless, and also the ground controller be that careless? Sure, but you need 5 people all failed their basic job at the same time to have this head-on collision occur (the 2 set of pilots flying and the ground controller), I will just say this, I don't know, but I will say this rumor exist not without a reason.

Trump says ‘many countries’ to send warships to keep Strait of Hormuz open
US President Donald Trump has said that many countries would send warships to keep the Strait of Hormuz open, but did not provide details on which countries would do so, Reuters reports.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said he hoped that China, France, Japan, South Korea, Britain and others would send ships to the area.
Trump says that many countries will be sending warships.
In the next paragraph he says that he hopes that scores of countries would send their warships.
Trump is obviously struggling.
