Iran drone (and missile "?") attack on Saudi Air Base Over a dozen U.S. soldiers injured in attack on Saudi base as Iran-backed Houthis enter war

At least 15 U.S. service members were wounded Friday in an Iranian strike on a Saudi air base that hosts American troops, according to the Associated Press, including at least five in serious condition. The missile and drone strikes targeted Saudi Arabia's Prince Sultan Air base, located outside the capital Riyadh. A U.S. official, who was not authorized to speak publicly, told NPR that some aircraft were apparently damaged as well. Iran released Chinese satellite photos of what they say are burning aircraft at the base. It said one of the tankers, which refuel fighter jets in the air, was destroyed and three others damaged. Iran has targeted U.S. service members at bases throughout the region since the war began a month ago, in retaliation for the U.S. attacks and seeking to drive troops out of the region. Overall, the Pentagon has put the U.S. casualty toll at 13 killed and more than 300 injured.

Umm, what!?! White House Signals Willingness to End Iran War Without Reopening Strait of Hormuz

Ensuring safe passage for oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz is not one of the "core objectives" President Donald Trump has set for ending his military operation against Iran, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters on Monday, potentially setting the stage for Iran to continue to flex its strategic position over one of the world's busiest oil shipping channels for the foreseeable future. Leavitt was asked at a White House press briefing on Monday whether Trump was willing to declare victory in Iran and end the war even if Iran continued to block most vessels from passing through the strait. Leavitt said the U.S. and Israel began their military strikes in late February to destroy Iran's navy, dismantle its missile and drone infrastructure, weaken its proxies in the region and prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. "The full reopening of the Strait is something the Administration is working towards, but the core objectives of the operation have been clearly defined for the American people by the Commander in Chief," Leavitt said. Despite the sinking of its navy and daily bombardments from U.S. warplanes, Iran's military has still managed to menace merchant ships moving through the crucial waterway, cutting off oil shipments and driving up the price of crude oil on the global market. Iran allowed some ships to pass through the chokepoint in late March, after intense diplomacy from the U.S. The prospect of Iran continuing to exert greater control over the narrow Strait could make it one of the lasting legacies of the conflict.
