Iran ‘hits’ US AWACS, air tankers: What else has it targeted in past month?

Following the start of the US-Israel war on Iran on February 28, 2026, Iran has reportedly targeted US assets in Gulf countries. Over the past month, attacks have damaged or destroyed radar systems, a THAAD missile defense system, and Reaper drones at US bases in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, Jordan, and Kuwait. On Friday, Iranian missiles and drones reportedly hit Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, damaging KC-135 tankers and an E-3 Sentry AWACS aircraft. According to reports, at least 15 American soldiers were wounded in the attack. Neither the US military nor Saudi Arabia has officially commented on the incident.

Reports indicate that at least 15 U.S. troops were wounded in an Iranian attack on the Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia on Friday. The attack, involving at least six ballistic missiles and 29 drones, targeted the airbase approximately 60 miles from Riyadh. Sources report that five of the injured soldiers are in serious condition. Iran claims the attack destroyed one refuelling aircraft and damaged three others, citing retaliation for U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran that began on February 28. The airbase, run by the Royal Saudi Air Force, is also used by American forces and has been attacked twice earlier in the week.

An Iranian missile and drone attack on Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia on Friday wounded at least 10 US service members and damaged several US refuelling aircraft. Two of the injured troops are reported to be seriously wounded. The attack, confirmed by US officials, follows recent statements by US leaders regarding Iran's military capabilities. This is not the first time the base has been targeted; a previous attack in March resulted in the death of a US service member. US Central Command reported earlier that over 300 service members have been wounded in the month-long conflict, with 30 remaining out of action.
