Iranian attack on Saudi base injures at least 10 U.S. troops and damages several planes

The strike injured 10 U.S. troops, including two seriously, and damaged multiple refueling aircraft amid escalating hostilities in the ongoing monthlong conflict, U.S. Central Command said.

  • On Friday, Iran launched 6 ballistic missiles and 29 drones at Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, wounding at least 15 U.S. service members and damaging several refueling aircraft.
  • Operation Epic Fury has already wounded more than 300 U.S. service members during this monthlong conflict, with Tehran's forces consistently targeting regional assets throughout the war.
  • While initial reports cited 10 injuries, subsequent accounts confirmed 15 U.S. troops were wounded, including five seriously, after missiles struck a base building; satellite imagery appears to verify damage to several U.S. refueling aircraft.
  • The Pentagon is preparing to deploy at least 1,000 troops from the 82nd Airborne Division to the Middle East, though Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated the U.S. "can achieve all of our objectives without ground troops."
  • Extending the deadline for reaching a deal with Iran to April 6, President Donald Trump claimed talks are going "very well," though Iranian officials continue to publicly deny any negotiations are taking place.
