Iran kept firing missiles at Israel and Gulf Arab nation on Friday, including a strike at a military base in Saudi Arabia that U.S. officials said wounded at least 10 U.S. service members, two of them seriously.
The attack on Prince Sultan Air Base also damaged several U.S. refueling aircraft, said two U.S. officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive military matters. 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 U.S. 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.
