preCharge News POLITICS — Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said late Saturday they had launched a missile salvo at U.S. forces stationed at Prince Sultan Air Base, a major base in Saudi Arabia’s Al-Kharj that has long hosted U.S. forces.

The Guards said the base was being used to equip “F-35 and F-16 fighter jets and is the storage place for fuel tankers.”

While there has been no immediate confirmation of the attack from Saudi Arabia, the kingdom’s defense ministry said earlier it intercepted six ballistic missiles headed towards Al-Kharj.

On March 1, the second day of the war, U.S. service member Sgt. Benjamin N. Pennington was killed in an Iranian attack on Prince Sultan Air Base. 

This is a developing news story. More information will be provided as soon as it becomes available.
