A US official told Barak Ravid that Iran launched a ballistic missile at an American military base in Saudi Arabia overnight, the first direct Iranian attack on Saudi territory in nearly four months, according to the report.
A US official confirmed early Saturday that Iran launched a ballistic missile at an American military base in Saudi Arabia, the first direct Iranian attack on Saudi territory in nearly four months. The confirmation was published by The Zioneer at 02:11 Jerusalem, with follow-up reports at the same time indicating additional launches toward Saudi Arabia.
The Zioneer had tracked an unverified claim of the attack at 02:19 Jerusalem. The thread shows that the official confirmation came at 02:11 Jerusalem, and within minutes, multiple updates were published, including reports of additional launches. The corroboration evolved from a single on-record US official to multiple reports of launches.
The attack comes amid a period of heightened US-Iran tensions. As The Zioneer reported, Iran has been responsible for strikes on US bases in Jordan that wounded American service members, and unverified Iranian reports claimed 10–15 ballistic missiles were fired at Jordan bases.
No details on the specific base, impacts, or casualties have been provided. The US official did not specify the location or damage. The situation remains open.
