On the 29th day of the US-Iran conflict, President Donald Trump declared the war "not finished yet," noting over 3,500 remaining targets, while at least 10 US service members were wounded in an Iranian attack on a Saudi air base.
Trump's War Declaration
- At the FII Summit in Miami, Trump stated the conflict with Iran is ongoing, with "another 3,554" targets to strike, claiming they will be addressed "pretty quickly."
- This aligns with Trump's repeated assertions of progress against Iran.
Attacks and Casualties
- Iranian Strike on Saudi Base: An Iranian missile attack on the Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia wounded at least 10 US service members; no deaths reported. A refueler tanker aircraft was damaged.
