In the war with Iran, the United States, facing increasing military losses every day, made a radical decision for "absolute secrecy" to mitigate the shocking impact on public opinion. According to the new protocol implemented by the Pentagon and the White House, the funerals of soldiers who lose their lives on the front will henceforth be kept completely secret, and cameras will be strictly prohibited from entering the ceremony areas.
U.S. President Donald Trump left the White House to attend the funeral of 6 U.S. Air Force pilots who lost their lives in the KC-135 Stratotanker refueling aircraft that crashed over western Iraq last week. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth accompanied Trump on this critical journey.
MARINE ONE TOOK OFF FOR DOVER
President Trump and Secretary Hegseth departed from the White House garden in the Marine One helicopter to go to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, where the remains of the fallen soldiers were brought back to the country. Attendance at the ceremony took place under a high-security program that was not announced to the public in advance.
CAMERAS PROHIBITED, CEREMONIES SECRET
Meanwhile, the White House and the Pentagon made a radical decision regarding the funerals of soldiers who lost their lives in the ongoing conflicts with Iran. According to the decision, the funeral processes of the casualties in the war with Iran will be kept completely confidential.
No cameras or any visual recordings will be allowed in the ceremony areas.
This decision is said to have been made to maintain military morale and control the emotional impact of the war on public opinion.
6 PILOTS LOST THEIR LIVES
Last week, 6 pilots lost their lives when the KC-135 Stratotanker aircraft, which was on a patrol and refueling mission over western Iraq, crashed. It is still unclear whether the aircraft crashed due to a technical malfunction or as a result of an attack, due to the Pentagon's confidentiality decision.
