Iran Targets Kuwait and Bahrain Infrastructure with Missile and Drone Attacks

Kuwait. With the ceasefire between America and Iran under further pressure, Iran has launched new missile and drone attacks targeting American infrastructure in Kuwait and Bahrain.

Among these attacks, one attack on Kuwait International Airport resulted in the death of an Indian national and injuries to more than 60 people.

According to the Kuwaiti Ministry of Foreign Affairs, an attack that occurred on Wednesday morning targeted the airport along with various civilian and important infrastructure. This is said to be one of the largest incidents of injuries in Kuwait due to Iranian attacks since the war began.

Iran claims to have targeted American military bases in Kuwait and Bahrain, as well as a ship near the Strait of Hormuz.

This attack occurred shortly after the US military fired a Hellfire missile at a Botswana-flagged oil tanker heading towards Iran's Kharg Island port.

Kuwait Expels Two Iranian Diplomats

Following the attack, the Kuwaiti government declared two members of Iran's diplomatic mission 'persona non grata' and ordered them to leave the country.

In a statement issued by the Kuwaiti Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it was stated that the decision was taken due to the continuous Iranian missile and drone attacks. The ministry also summoned Iran's acting ambassador to Kuwait, Hamed Hamid Yakoubi Far, and handed over a formal protest letter.

Tension Continues Despite Ceasefire

Although a ceasefire agreement was reached between America and Iran in April, attacks from both sides have been occurring again in recent days. According to analysts, the recent developments have made the future of the ceasefire uncertain.

Even in the initial phase of the war, Iran had attacked various countries in the region, causing casualties in Kuwait, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Saudi Arabia, and Israel.

Israel-Lebanon Talks Continue with US Mediation

Meanwhile, security and political talks between Israel and Lebanon, mediated by the United States, continued for the second day. According to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, discussions are ongoing between representatives of both countries at the US State Department in Washington.

The US side stated that the talks aim to restore Lebanon's sovereignty and ensure Israel's security. However, regional tension remains high as attacks and counter-attacks continue between Israel and Hezbollah despite the ceasefire.
