Iran war enters terrifying new phase as number of wounded US troops reportedly soars
The conflict between the US and Iran has entered a new phase, with over two dozen US service members injured in Iranian strikes on a Saudi air base. The recent attacks coincide with the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels' confirmation of their involvement in the war, marking a chilling new development.
Iran has fired ballistic missiles and drones at Saudi Arabia's Prince Sultan air base, injuring at least 29 US troops. The base, located 60 miles from Riyadh, is run by the Royal Saudi Air Force but also houses US troops. The recent attacks are not the first occasion that the base has been hit by Iran. The Houthi rebels, backed by Iran, have claimed responsibility for a missile attack on Israel, their first such action since the war erupted. The rebels have controlled Yemen's capital, Sanaa, since 2014, and had remained out of the conflict due to a fragile ceasefire with Saudi Arabia.
