Iranian Strike Hits Prince Sultan Air Base, Wounding U.S. Troops

Iran launched missiles and drones at Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, damaging refueling aircraft and wounding 10–12 U.S. service members (WSJ citing American and Saudi officials; Reuters later put the figure at 12 with two in critical condition). Saudi interceptors later destroyed a ballistic missile headed toward Riyadh, while the UAE and Bahrain reported related alerts as air defenses engaged missiles and UAVs. The IRGC warned civilians to stay away from areas with U.S. forces, and the Pentagon did not comment on the attack, marking a developing escalation in the Gulf.
