Even as President Donald Trump is working with his negotiators, who are working with Iran’s negotiators, on a plan to turn down the heat from Islamist hostilities in the Middle East, Iran has launched a missile that has injured several Americans.
The ballistic missile was aimed at a U.S. base in Kuwait, and although it was intercepted, the wreckage still rained down, injuring several people.
The New York Post report said the missile was “in retaliation for the American military knocking out Iranian drones in the Strait of Hormuz.”
“This egregious ceasefire violation by the Iranian regime occurred hours after Iranian forces launched five one-way attack drones that posed a clear threat in and near the Strait of Hormuz,” CENTCOM said in a social media statement.
“All drones were successfully intercepted by U.S. forces which also prevented a sixth drone launch from an Iranian ground control site in Bandar Abbas. U.S. Central Command and regional partners remain vigilant and measured as we continue to defend our forces and interests from unjustified Iranian aggression.”

Kuwait called Iran’s action a “blatant violation of sovereignty and security” and offered the nation’s “strongest condemnation and denunciation of the criminal Iranian attacks that targeted the territory of the state of Kuwait with missiles and drones in a dangerous escalation.”
The United Arab Emirates also condemned the missile attacks.
The Gulf Cooperation Council said, “The secretary-general pointed out that the continuation of these treacherous attacks is a flagrant violation of the principles of international law, the Charter of the United Nations, and the principles of good neighborliness.”
The Daily Mail noted that U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said U.S. troops are preparing to “recommence” their work against Iran if needed.
It was the Ali Al Salem air base that was targeted by Iran’s Fateh-110 missile, reports said.
