The United States military evacuated 19 injured troops on March 12 from the Middle East to Germany as regional tensions continued to escalate due to the American-Israeli war on Iran, CBS News reported.
Citing sources, the network said that the plane flew from Saudi Arabia, stopped in Oman and landed at a U.S. base in Germany near a military hospital.
Two evacuees were injured when a drone exploded near their vehicle, according to the report, which didn’t provide further details on the losses.
During the day and overnight, the Saudi Ministry of Defense reported the interception of over 80 suicide drones, in addition to at least two ballistic missiles, all believed to have been launched from Iran as a part of the Islamic Republic’s retaliatory strikes against the U.S. and Israel.
Many of these drones and missiles were intercepted close to Prince Sultan Air Base, according to the ministry. Multiple U.S. warplanes are currently based there, including airborne early warning and control aircraft, as well as communication relay planes. These warplanes are certainly aiding the attack on Iran.
Others were shot down over the Empty Quarter, while heading towards Shaybah field. The field is one of Saudi Arabia’s largest oil and gas fields, producing over one million barrels per day of premium crude, in addition to natural gas liquids critical for the kingdom’s petrochemical industry.
In addition, the ministry reported drone interceptions over the al-Safarat district in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, where many embassies and diplomatic missions are located.
Later in the early morning of March 13, an Iranian drone hit a building at the Dubai International Financial Centre in the United Arab Emirates.
Footage of the incident shows smoke coming from a cluster of high-rise buildings in the large city. Earlier, authorities in Dubai said that they were dealing with a “minor incident” caused by falling debris following an aerial interception over the city.
Emirate officials said that the debris struck the facade of a building in downtown Dubai, according to Anadolu Agency. No casualties were reported.
Around the same time, Oman’s official news agency reported that two people were killed after drones came down in the Sohar province.
The agency, quoting a security source, said that one of the drones hit the al-Awahi Industrial Area, killing two foreign nationals and injuring others.
The other one fell in an open area with no injuries recorded, the agency also said, adding that the authorities were investigating the incident.
Gulf countries took the brunt of Iranian retaliatory strikes in recent days. Still, there is no sign that these countries, which suffered some serious financial losses, will join the American-Israeli war on the Islamic Republic. So far, there have been only calls for de-escalation.
The de facto Iranian blockade of Hormuz that brought the export of oil and gas through the waterway to a near halt could, however, lead to a shift in the stance of some of these countries if the war drags on.

iran is changing the region forever, not israel. the dubai dream is over. there will be no abraham accords. ussa will be kicked out, its presence in host nations brings insecurity. arab investments in ussa gone kaput. western fake influencers are leaving. data centers that will power westoid economies are going kaput. the perception of gulf arab safety gone kaput. uae war in sudan will be lost for them.
there are reports that 2 aircraft, carriers have been hit. it’s unclear but it seems something has happened.
it’s not about israel. trump and epstein enjoyed killing and raping little girls.it’s just their corrupt nature. the story of the frog and the scorpion teaches us that a psychopath will not change. there is a reason why they arrested dragan paravinja in croatia and the murderer danke ilić in serbia and did not let these people lead the countries. people were not stupid enough to make criminals of this pedophile-murdering type presidents. they are so stupid and corrupt only in usa
your brainwashing was a complete success.
what do ian huntley, dragan paravinja, the murderers of danke ilić, pete hegseth and donald trump have in common? their perverted nature that enjoys killing and raping little girls. i don’t believe it was a mistake and not an intentional killing of the iranian girls. pete hegseth and donald trump both have horror violent sick attitudes towards girls and women. what is this? covert homosexuality that resulted in madness and the killing of innocent girls?
i wonder if trump was born a crazy psychopath who enjoys raping and killing girls? or did it all happen later? if a man is bitten by a girl during a rape, he would be disqualified from the elections in our country. in that context, we need to figure out why he has now killed 165 iranian girls. epstein’s ranch and the buried human sacrifice victims are one aspect. another aspect is the killing of 165 iranian schoolgirls. the solution would be for democrats to take over congress and the senate.
there are a lot of schools in iran…heheheh
kill yourself, loser.
