The Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia was attacked and several American troops were wounded in the assault. The incident has raised concerns about the involvement of Russia in the attack. According to Ukrainian intelligence, Russia took satellite images of the air base three times in the days leading up to the attack.
The images were taken on March 20, March 23, and March 25, and were shared with Iran, which ultimately carried out the attack. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is confident that Russia was involved in the attack and was sharing intelligence with Iran to target US forces in the Middle East. Zelenskyy stated that he is "100% confident" that Russia was sharing such intelligence with Iran.
The attack has sparked a heated debate in the US about the involvement of Russia and the Trump administration's handling of the situation. Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., has criticized the administration for not seeking congressional approval before deploying troops to the region. Booker argued that the administration is pushing the US further into conflict without a clear exit strategy.
The attack on the Prince Sultan Air Base highlights the growing tensions in the Middle East and the increasing role of Russia in the region. With several US troops wounded in the assault, the incident raises serious concerns about the safety of American personnel in the area.
