OSINT-focused X accounts cite flight tracking data that shows a wave of U.S. air tankers deploying to Europe. The timing coincides with President Trump's scheduled last-minute meeting with senior military leadership in northern Virginia on Tuesday. Historical precedent is very notable here: the last comparable mass tanker deployment (read report) preceded U.S. strikes on Iran's nuclear infrastructure by five days. 

Notable and most credible X accounts have reported an immediate deployment of U.S. air tankers to Europe. 

"Roughly a dozen U.S. Air Force KC-135R/T "Stratotanker" Aerial-Refueling Tankers are currently up from a number of airbases across the United States, heading northeast and preparing to cross the Atlantic towards Europe, with several appearing to be enroute to RAF Mildenhall in England," X account OSINTdefender said. The X user appears to have sourced Flight

Other OSINT-focused X accounts report similar U.S. air tanker movements to Europe, which typically implies that the U.S. or NATO is responding to an urgent military need.

Hmm. 

If we've learned anything from the most recent precedent (read report) in June.... 

This remains a key development to monitor.
