An Iranian missile strike on an air base in Kuwait has reportedly injured several Americans, as President Trump weighs whether to accept Tehran’s latest peace proposal or return to war.

The Americans injured included contractors and active duty personnel, a source told Bloomberg News, with minor injuries suffered after Kuwaiti air defenses struck an incoming Fategh-110 missile.

The attack also seriously damaged a pair of MQ-9 Reaper drones, which cost about $30 million as debris fell on the Ali Al Salem air base.

President Trump huddled with his security team Friday, and said he plans to make a “final determination” on a deal with Iran that would extend a cease fire for 60 days, reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and set up further negotiations on Iran’s nuclear material while the US lifts its blockade.

Located about 20 miles from the Iraqi border, the base hosted US troops during Operation Iraqi Freedom. (edited)
