Iranian strike on Saudi air base injures 12 US troops

At least 10 American service members were wounded as Iran carried out a missile strike targeting Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia on Friday (March 27).

The attack on Prince Sultan Air Base also damaged several US refueling aircraft, said two US officials.

One of the officials said two of the troops were seriously wounded.

Israel, meanwhile, warned Friday it will expand its attacks on Iran, while the US military also continued striking Iran.

President Donald Trump delayed his threat to obliterate Iran’s energy plants over its effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz. 

Facing a convulsing stock market, Trump on Thursday extended a deadline for reopening the waterway until April 6, saying Iran asked for the grace period and that talks were going “very well,” despite Iran continuing to publicly insist it is not negotiating with the White House on a 15-point proposal to end the conflict.
