As many as 20 U.S. service members were wounded and two E-3 Sentry aircraft were damaged in an Iranian strike on an air base in Saudi Arabia on Friday, according to a U.S. official.

The official was speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the matter.

This comes as Trump has repeated the assertion that Iran wants a deal while he has also ordered thousands of U.S. troops to deploy to the Middle East and even warned the U.S. may try to seize Iran's Kharg Island — or blow it up.
