Iran’s foreign minister calls on Saudis to ‘eject’ US forces

Araghchi said the strike showed U.S. forces cannot provide security and cited reports of 15 injured American troops and damaged aircraft.

  • On Monday, Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi urged Saudi Arabia to 'eject' U.S. forces from its territory, three days after Iranian missiles and drones struck Prince Sultan Air Base in Al-Kharj, Saudi Arabia.
  • Tehran's March 27 operation destroyed a U.S. Air Force E-3 Sentry AWACS from Tinker Air Force Base, escalating conflict that began with U.S.-Israeli strikes on February 28.
  • The attack injured at least 15 U.S. service members while destroying an aircraft valued at up to $500 million; CNN military analyst Cedric Leighton warned the loss 'further degrades the overall monitoring capability of the U.S.'
  • Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy claimed Moscow shared satellite intelligence with Tehran to assist targeting, while the Pentagon declined to comment on intelligence matters regarding the strike's operational impact.
  • Araghchi stated operations target 'enemy aggressors,' yet his demand pressures the eight-decade U.S.-Saudi security partnership, potentially forcing Riyadh to choose between maintaining the alliance or appeasing regional security demands.
