The injured servicemen were inside a building at the base that was attacked. The assault also damaged several U.S. refueling aircraft. According to two of the officials, at least one missile struck the base, and several drones were involved in the attack.

This missile strike marks at least the second time the base has been attacked during the Iran war. In an earlier attack, five refueling aircraft were damaged.

The attack comes as Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states are gradually approaching a stance of joining the war and taking a harder line against Iran. After four weeks of war, the supply of air defense interceptors from the U.S. and its allies is increasingly dwindling.

Steve Withecuff, the senior U.S. envoy for Iran under President Trump, stated that the government plans to meet with Iranian officials this week.

“We are negotiating. That is clear. Some ships are passing through,” Withecuff said at an event partially organized by the Saudi Arabian sovereign wealth fund. “We expect meetings to take place this week. We certainly have hope for that.”

Withecuff stated that Iran has had this 15-point plan “for some time,” which calls for Iran to halt uranium enrichment, abandon its nearly 10,000 kilograms of enriched materials, and agree to oversight.

“These are our red lines,” he said. “We cannot allow a second North Korea to emerge in the Middle East. That would be a completely destabilizing factor for the region and the world.”

Mediators indicated that Iran is expected to respond to the U.S. proposed 15-point potential ceasefire plan by the end of Friday. Mediators said that while some progress has been made, Iranian officials are expected to reject several of the U.S. demands.
