- Iran launched missiles at a Kuwaiti air base, injuring American service members.
- U.S. Central Command confirmed the attack and called it an "egregious ceasefire violation."
- President Trump is weighing a two‑month pause in the conflict, but the strike challenges that effort.
Why it matters: U.S. troops suffer casualties, raising domestic pressure on the administration and jeopardizing Trump's proposed two‑month ceasefire pause, while the attack tests the fragile truce in the region.
