Crisp on the outside, thoughtful on the inside. A keeper.
Summary
Kuwait suspended commercial flights after an Iranian drone attack struck Kuwait International Airport's passenger building, causing damage and injuries. The attack followed missile strikes exchanged between Iran and the United States late Tuesday, with the U.S. retaliating against an Iranian military facility after Iranian missiles targeted Kuwait and Bahrain. The escalation occurred after Iran reportedly stopped communicating with mediators about extending a ceasefire in its war with the U.S. and Israel, though President Trump disputed that claim.
