• An Iranian missile and drone attack on Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia on Friday injured 12 US service members, including two seriously, and damaged several US refueling aircraft.
• Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff said the US will likely meet Iran this week and expects Tehran’s response to its 15-point proposal. Iran, however, says it has yet to decide after the latest strikes on its infrastructure.
