A US official told N12 that Iran fired a ballistic missile at an American military base in Saudi Arabia, the first direct Iranian attack on Saudi territory in nearly four months. The overnight strike follows a series of regional escalations; no casualties or damage have been reported.
The Zioneer has published a dispatch at 04:56 Jerusalem, consolidating the official confirmation that Iran launched a ballistic missile at an American military base in Saudi Arabia overnight. The confirmation, attributed to a US official speaking to N12, was first reported at 02:11 Jerusalem and marks the first direct Iranian attack on Saudi territory in nearly four months.
The story broke at 02:11 Jerusalem, when a US official told Barak Ravid (N12) that Iran had fired a ballistic missile at a US base in Saudi Arabia. The desk published multiple versions of the report at that time, including a general confirmation and a specific account of the strike. At 02:22 Jerusalem, The Zioneer published an article emphasizing the US official's confirmation. At 02:58 Jerusalem, a bulletin highlighted the historic nature of the attack—the first such strike since April 8.
The attack comes amid a broader kinetic war between Iran and US-led forces. As The Zioneer reported on June 8, Iran struck Saudi Arabia, targeting Prince Sultan Air Base, following Israeli strikes on Iran. In recent weeks, unverified reports and footage have documented Iranian missile launches toward US bases in Jordan, as reported by The Zioneer on July 15 and July 11 respectively.
The exact location of the targeted base, any damage or casualties, and the potential for retaliation remain unconfirmed. The Zioneer will continue to monitor the situation.
