On March 27, an Iranian missile struck Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, wounding at least 10 American service members with two requiring serious medical attention. Several U.S. tanker aircraft were also damaged during the attack.
Reports indicate that the United States is preparing for a ground operation in Iran, with plans to deploy up to 10,000 troops to the region.
Ebrahim Zolfagari, a representative of the Khatam al-Anbiya central headquarters of the Iranian Armed Forces, stated on March 25 that Iranian forces had destroyed all U.S. military bases in the Middle East. He urged residents in affected countries to report locations where American personnel had fled and called for local populations to demand the expulsion of U.S. military from the region to ensure national security.
