U.S. Forces Korea (USFK) has relocated some Patriot missile defense batteries to Osan Air Base, sparking speculation about a potential deployment to the Middle East. The move comes amid escalating tensions following U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran, with both Korean and U.S. officials maintaining ambiguity on the matter.
An Iranian missile struck the Prince Sultan Air Base near Riyadh on Friday, wounding several U.S. service members and damaging aircraft. A U.S. official confirmed the injuries at the Saudi-U.S. shared facility. The attack comes amid ongoing Iranian strikes on U.S. bases since the war began a month ago.

She described criticism of the request as a 'performance' and drew on American historical traditions of public prayer. Davis emphasized that such expressions align with America's majority-Christian culture without violating minority rights.
