Former President Donald Trump disputed media accounts on Saturday regarding the extent of damage inflicted on American military aircraft during a recent strike at a Saudi Arabian installation.
In a Truth Social post, Trump stated that the majority of the refueling aircraft hit in the assault experienced minimal harm. “Four of the five had virtually no damage, and are already back in service. One had slightly more damage, but will be in the air shortly,” Trump posted on his social media platform.
The former president’s comments came in response to news coverage from various American media organizations, including the Wall Street Journal. On Friday, the Journal had reported that Iranian attacks caused damage to five U.S. Air Force tanker aircraft stationed at Prince Sultan air base in Saudi Arabia. According to the newspaper’s account, no fatalities occurred in the incident and repair work was underway on the damaged planes.
