MORE: Saudi Arabia has opened King Fahd Air Base to US forces. More US troops are deploying to the region. UAE signaled it is ready for a long war (up to 9 months). The US is pushing Saudi Arabia to join offensive operations.

🇮🇷🇺🇸 The Pentagon won’t say where the F-35 landed. You don’t advertise which base your most advanced stealth jet limped back to with Iranian ordnance in its side. But the flight radar data is talking. A US Army Boeing CH-47 Chinook a heavy helicopter typically used for search and rescue or casualty evacuation was tracked flying a tight patrol pattern over eastern Saudi Arabia right around the time the IRGC claimed the hit. The IRGC video, filmed through an electro-optical infrared system, shows a surface-to-air missile striking the F-35 on the port side with what appears to be a subsequent fluid leak — consistent with damage serious enough to force an emergency landing but not catastrophic enough to down it.  The chopper pattern, and the timing point to Eastern Saudi Arabia. Prince Sultan Air Base at Al-Kharj sits right there... the same base where five KC-135s hit by Iranian missiles on March 13th.  Not confirmed but pointing in the direction of Sultan air base.
