Iranian Missile Strikes Saudi Air Base, Leaving 12 U.S. Troops Injured
U.S. Troops Hurt, Oil Spikes, and Iran Hackers Target FBI Chief as Middle East War Enters Fifth Week
Iranian Missile – (Web Desk) – An Iranian missile slammed into Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia on Friday, injuring American service members and damaging several U.S. refueling planes, according to officials from both countries who were briefed on the attack. Drones were also part of the assault.
Meanwhile, in Israel, the military reported early Saturday morning that it had picked up a missile fired from Yemen, where Iran-backed Houthi fighters had so far stayed on the sidelines of the conflict.
On the diplomatic front, Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned that one of the toughest hurdles after the war wraps up will be stopping Iran from essentially charging ships a fee to pass through the Strait of Hormuz — something he described as both illegal and a serious threat to the global economy. He also indicated that the fighting is expected to continue for roughly another two to four weeks.
