10 Americans Injured in Iranian Attack on Saudi Air Base

The strike injured 10 U.S. troops and damaged multiple refueling aircraft during ongoing regional tensions, with over 300 U.S. service members wounded in the conflict, CENTCOM said.

  • On Friday, an Iranian missile and drone strike hit Prince Sultan Airbase in Saudi Arabia, wounding 10 American service members, two of whom remain in serious condition.
  • The strike comes as the American military continues pouring assets into the region to combat Iranian attacks, with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth approving a request from Central Command to deploy additional Marines.
  • Central Command reported earlier Friday that more than 300 service members have been wounded in the monthlong conflict, with Captain Tim Hawkins noting 273 have returned to active duty.
  • President Donald Trump recently extended his deadline for Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz to April 6, while Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz warned that attacks on the regime will escalate.
  • Thousands of American troops remain en route to the region, though Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated objectives can be achieved without ground forces, providing "maximum optionality and maximum opportunity.
