One person has been killed and more than 60 injured in Iranian drone strikes on Kuwait’s international airport, local officials have said. Kuwait’s defence ministry spokesman called Wednesday’s attack “criminal Iranian aggression”, while the foreign ministry said diplomatic missions had been damaged. Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed the attack, saying it was in retaliation for US strikes on an Iranian oil tanker and Qeshm Island. Iran also said it targeted US bases in the Gulf. The US earlier said it had launched “self-defence” strikes on Iran, and shot down or intercepted Iranian missiles fired at Kuwait and Bahrain. The latest escalation threatens a shaky US-Iran ceasefire.
