New York Times reported: "U.S. military officials said on Sunday that Iran attacked a U.S. base in Kuwait, killing three U.S. soldiers, immediately revealing the risks of the latest war for the U.S. in the Middle East. This is the first time since the U.S.-Israel military joint attack on Iran that American personnel have been killed. The U.S. authorities said that five other service members were seriously injured in the attack, and several others suffered minor shrapnel wounds and concussions."
Comments: Previously, the United States could package its bombing of Iran as a "zero-casualty, low-cost, fast-paced" military show. Now, the first blood has been shed, and the political cost has suddenly risen. This is not an accident, but the inevitable cost of starting a war - when the United States actively overturned the table, it should not expect the opponent to only defend and not attack.
Trump, while branding himself as a "peace president," has continuously launched eight military actions abroad since taking office last year, and now personally sent the U.S. military into the Middle East battlefield. Once the list of the dead appears, domestic anti-war pressure, election backlash, and a spiral of escalating situations are all activated.
