The attack on Prince Sultan Air Base damaged several US refuelling aircraft, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive military matters. One of the officials said two of the troops were seriously wounded. Satellite imagery that appeared to show the damage to the aircraft was posted online. The attack, which involved an Iranian missile as well as unmanned drones, comes a day after President Donald Trump said Iran has been "obliterated" and Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth said that "never in recorded history has a nation's military been so quickly and so effectively neutralised."
