Kuwait announced a missile and drone strike on Thursday, indicating strains on the precarious Iran ceasefire following previous assaults by Washington and Tehran.
The Kuwaiti military provided limited information about the targets involved. Meanwhile, Iran confirmed undertaking a related regional attack, though specifics were undisclosed.
This incident arises amid heightened tensions in West Asia. Efforts by the US administration to negotiate an end to the conflict with Iran remain uncertain, focusing on reopening oil passageways and reducing nuclear stockpiles, while Iran seeks lifting of sanctions.
The situation continues to draw criticism domestically in the US, with the war's unpopularity and the economic impact of increased oil prices prompting public concern.
Recent days have seen multiple ceasefire breaches, including US strikes on Iranian targets suspected of posing threats, highlighting the fragile nature of current peace efforts.
