An Iranian missile strike on an air base in Kuwait has injured several Americans, The New York Post reports.
The Americans, who are reported to have been injured within the last 24 hours, included civilian contractors and active-duty personnel at Ali Al Salem base.
They suffered minor injuries after air defences struck an incoming Fategh-110 missile.
The attack is also said to have damaged two MQ-9 Reaper drones as debris fell on the base.
Ali Al Salem is located about 20 miles from the Iraqi border and hosted US troops during the second Iraq war.
The Pentagon has yet to comment on the incident.
On Saturday, the US Navy disabled another ship in the Strait of Hormuz as it attempted to run the US blockade.
US Central Command (CENTCOM) released a statement on X about the incident.
A hellfire missile was fired by a naval aircraft after a Gambian-flagged ship failed to respond to multiple warnings about the blockade.
According to CENTCOM, the US navy has now disabled five ships and “redirected” 116 more since the blockade of the Strait began in April.
Speaking on Saturday in Singapore, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said the blockade is “very much still in place” as it was reported the US and Iran were edging closer to a deal to end the war and reopen the Strait, through which 20% of the world’s hydrocarbon exports pass under normal conditions.
In a post on Truth Social on Saturday, President Trump revealed details of that deal, and said the Strait of Hormuz must be opened immediately, without tolls, and Iran will not be allowed to have nuclear weapons.
President Trump went on to say Iran’s stocks of enriched uranium, currently buried after US attacks on the facilities at Isfahan, Fordau and Natanz, must be removed, and he also said the US would not pay Iran any money—probably a reference to demands that Iranian assets, worth billions of dollars, be unfreezed.
A meeting was held in the White House Situation Room to make a “final determination” about the deal. The meeting is reported to have lasted two hours.

GOOD, those Americans deserve it! I hope it was painful for them, and here is a big middle finger to their families 😉
The enemies have always been costumed POS govt employees who have been wreaking havoc on everyday INNOCENT Americans since the days of the hired Pinkerton goons! The people of Iran, NK, Russia, Iraq, etc. are not our real enemies as they do not bother us, or send us complicated tax forms!
…This while Trump is negotiating from strength in the Situation Room.
Bit of sarcasm or humor?
That’s right, ignorance is strength according to those types of people.
The American taxpayers should demand payment from these rich a-rab cabal states.
The war burden should be lifted off the American taxpayers before it becomes totally ravaged and raped.
