No cargo flights are heading toward the region, just a few minutes ago, a refueling tanker departed from the Al-Udeid Airbase in Qatar with the callsign "REACH", indicating that it is certainly not a flight supporting escort operations in the Strait of Hormuz. In recent days, it has become increasingly common for U.S. refueling tankers operating over the Persian Gulf to switch off their transponders.
