At Least 12 US Service Members Injured in Iranian Strikes Across the Region

Iran launched ballistic missile and drone strikes on Saudi Arabia’s Prince Sultan Air Base on Friday, injuring at least 12 U.S. service members, including two reported to be seriously wounded. U.S. officials cited in reports said U.S. Air Force refueling aircraft were also significantly damaged, while Iran claimed it destroyed one aircraft and damaged three others and released satellite images it said showed burning planes. The base near Riyadh hosts many of the roughly 2,700 U.S. troops stationed in Saudi Arabia. The reports come amid broader U.S.-Iran tensions, with recent missile activity also reported near the joint U.S.-U.K. base at Diego Garcia and ongoing U.S. statements about talks with Iran.

CERN Successfully Transported Antimatter by Truck in a First-of-Its-Kind Test

Transporting antimatter on a truck is tricky, but CERN’s “Antimatter in Motion” project has now done it, moving 92 antiprotons in a specially designed magnetic enclosure. The nearly six-foot-tall, 1,760-pound container held the particles in a vacuum chamber cooled to about −450°F. Researchers used a crane to load it onto a truck over roughly three hours, drove about 30 minutes around CERN’s campus, then returned the antiprotons to the lab; the trial went smoothly enough that they immediately repeated it. The goal is to prove antimatter can be safely transported to other European facilities for further research.

Reports: At Least 12 U.S. Service Members Injured in Attack on Saudi Air Base

Reports say at least 12 U.S. service members were wounded in an attack on Saudi Arabia’s Prince Sultan Air Base on Friday, up from earlier reports of 10 injured. The New York Times reported that two C-135 aerial refueling aircraft sustained significant damage, calling the strike a major breach of U.S. air defenses. The attack comes amid an ongoing war with Iran that began with joint U.S. and Israeli strikes; U.S. Central Command has said nearly 300 U.S. troops have been injured, including 225 traumatic brain injuries, and 13 have been killed. The broader conflict has caused large civilian casualties across the region, driven up energy prices after the Strait of Hormuz was closed, and generated an estimated $1.4 billion to $2.9 billion in battle damage and replacement costs, while a U.S. ceasefire proposal has been rejected by Iran.
