Ataque con drones iraníes al aeropuerto de Kuwait mata a una persona y hiere a decenas

Kuwait briefly shut its main international airport on Wednesday after Iranian drones heavily damaged a terminal building, killing one person and wounding dozens. The attack is the latest in a series of back-and-forth strikes between Tehran and Washington that have tested a fragile ceasefire.

The strikes came as semi-official Iranian news agencies reported that the country had stopped communicating with mediators about extending the ceasefire in the war with the U.S. and Israel.

A regional official said Tehran wants the truce in Lebanon enforced before returning to talks. President Donald Trump said negotiations were continuing.

The talks have dragged on for weeks, and repeated exchanges of strikes in the Gulf region and Israel's broadening war in Lebanon are further straining the efforts. Iran has maintained its stranglehold on the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial artery for the world's oil and natural gas, while the U.S.

has continued its blockade of Iranian ports, ensuring global fuel prices remain high.

Defense Ministry spokesperson Brig. Saud Abdulaziz Al-Otaibi said that "a number of hostile drones" targeted a passenger building at Kuwait International Airport.

Authorities reported one person killed and 63 wounded, including passengers and workers. Health Ministry spokesman Abdullah Al Sanad said some had suffered serious injuries.

The Foreign Ministry said Kuwait reserves the right to respond to Iran and that it will "neither accept nor tolerate" the attacks.

The airport partially reopened later in the day, with Kuwait Airways flights resuming from a different terminal. No other flights were operating. The airport had only reopened on Monday after closing early in the war.

The U.S. military said Iran fired two missiles at Kuwait that fell apart en route, and that it "downed multiple drones" targeting American forces in the country.

The military also said U.S. and Bahraini forces intercepted missiles aimed at the Gulf kingdom, which is home to the U.S.

Navy's 5th Fleet. Bahrain's Defense Ministry said its military intercepted and destroyed three missiles and a number of drones fired by Iran.

The U.S. military said it launched strikes on an Iranian military ground control station on Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard acknowledged that it targeted the headquarters of the 5th Fleet and U.S. military facilities in another country, but did not name Kuwait.

Both the U.S. and Iran said they were retaliating for earlier attacks or attempted attacks.

Iran's Foreign Ministry condemned the U.S. strikes on Qeshm Island, where it said a telecommunications tower was struck, and other previous strikes. It called them "acts of aggression" that violated the ceasefire.

A senior Emirati diplomat called on Wednesday for "a firm, unified, and cohesive Gulf position" against Iran following the attacks. "This aggression does not target a specific state, but rather all of us," Anwar Gargash wrote on the X platform.

Iran's Fars and Tasnim news agencies, both believed to be close to the Guard, reported that Iran's negotiators have stopped communicating with ceasefire mediators as tensions flared in Israel's separate but related fight against the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militant group in Lebanon. A regional official involved in the mediation, speaking on condition of anonymity, told The Associated Press that Iran had not communicated at all on Tuesday after saying that a ceasefire needed to be enforced in Lebanon for negotiations to continue.

Trump called reports of a cessation in talks "false and erroneous." "The conversations between us have been going on continuously, including four days ago, three days ago, two days ago, one day ago and today," Trump said in a social media post. "Where they lead, one never knows, but as I told Iran, 'It's time, one way or another, for you to make a Deal.'"

Despite repeated outbreaks of violence, the declared ceasefire in Lebanon is officially in place. No side has formally withdrawn or declared the ceasefire over, but attacks continue.

Israeli forces have moved deeper into Lebanon than at any time in over a quarter of a century while Hezbollah has launched rocket and drone attacks.

Lebanon has emerged as a key sticking point in Trump's efforts to sign a ceasefire deal with Iran. Tehran insists that any larger potential truce must also quell the fighting in Lebanon.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wants to keep the issues separate and is under heavy domestic pressure to strike Hezbollah as he prepares for new elections this fall.

The fighting has exposed a rift between close allies Israel and the U.S., with the U.S. pushing for restraint and Israel seeking to step up military pressure on Hezbollah.

A person familiar with the situation said Netanyahu and Trump had a "tense" conversation earlier this week.
