An Iranian military strike on Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia wounded twelve U.S. troops, with two sustaining serious injuries. The attack also resulted in damage to at least two U.S. Air Force refueling aircraft.
The missile and drone attack represents a significant breach of American air defenses during the ongoing conflict with Iran. Initial reports indicated several injuries, and further updates revealed ten soldiers remain seriously wounded.
Of the injured troops, 273 have since returned to duty. Iran’s ambassador to the UN stated the nation will “facilitate and expedite” troop movement, though details remain unclear.
