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

Iranian forces attacked Prince Sultan Air Base, wounding at least 10 U.S. troops and damaging aircraft as part of escalating regional hostilities.

  • On Friday, Iranian forces struck Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia with ballistic missiles and drones, wounding at least 12 U.S. service members, including two seriously, and damaging multiple U.S. refueling aircraft.
  • This installation has been repeatedly targeted since the war began; a March 1 attack killed Army Sgt. Benjamin N. Pennington, 26, establishing the base as a recurring focal point for Iranian strikes.
  • Iranian forces launched six ballistic missiles and 29 drones in the assault, according to official reports; satellite imagery circulating online confirmed damage to refueling aircraft at the installation.
  • The Pentagon is deploying at least 1,000 troops from the 82nd Airborne Division and two Marine units adding about 5,000 Marines to the region in response to the strike.
  • As the conflict reaches the one-month mark, President Donald Trump claimed talks on ending the war were going "very well," though Iran continues to deny engaging in any negotiations.
