Bang! Bang! Bang! Even the U.S. Air Force base couldn't withstand Iran's missile attack! Just as Saudi Arabia had allowed U.S. forces to use the Prince Sultan Air Base, Iran launched a missile strike against it. On March 28, according to foreign media reports, 10 U.S. military personnel were injured in Iran’s missile and drone attacks on the Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia. Among them, two sustained severe injuries, and eight suffered moderate to serious wounds.
Evidently, this strike sent a serious warning to Saudi Arabia and left the United States deeply embarrassed. Iran warned Saudi Arabia not to facilitate U.S. military actions, but Saudi Arabia ignored the warning. Through this attack, Iran clearly signaled its position. As for the United States, the situation is extremely awkward. Trump wanted to negotiate and even claimed Iran had given the U.S. a "big gift," yet his military base was bombed just moments later.
In fact, the U.S. losses go beyond the 10 injured service members—they also include damage to several U.S. aerial refueling aircraft. In short, since negotiations are deadlocked, Iran’s choice is clear: continue striking. It's evident that Iran’s strategy here is quite clever—regardless of whether the U.S. truly intends to negotiate, the strikes won’t stop until the U.S. sits at the negotiating table. The ball is now in America’s court!
