Iran live updates: Iran targets US forces, Kuwait airport amid ceasefire

President Donald Trump announced "major combat operations" against Iran on Feb. 28, with massive joint U.S.-Israeli strikes targeting military, government and infrastructure sites.

Following the announcement of a two-week ceasefire, initial U.S.-Iran talks in Pakistan in April failed to reach a peace deal.

Trump later announced the open-ended extension of the ceasefire and the continuation of a U.S. blockade until negotiations are concluded "one way or the other."

Air defenses in Bahrain intercepted three missiles and several drones fired by Iran, the General Command of the Bahrain Defence Force said Wednesday.

"Iran continues its systematic aggression through its heinous missile and drone attacks targeting civilian infrastructure," the BDF said in a post on social media.

One person was killed and several other people injured after Iranian missiles and drones attacked Kuwait early on Wednesday, Kuwait's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.

Iran fired missiles and drones targeting "civilian and vital facilities, including Kuwait International Airport, resulting in the death of one individual, injuries to others, and damage to vital facilities, including diplomatic missions," the statement said.

The attack occurred at dawn local time, according to the ministry's statement.

The ministry denounced "Iran's overt aggressive attacks, which lead to increased escalation, heightened tension, and undermine the security and stability of the region."

Kuwait's General Authority of Civil Aviation said that Kuwait Airways flights will resume operations from Kuwait International Airport on Wednesday.

The decision was taken after field inspections and technical evaluations "to ensure the terminal's readiness to receive flights and passengers," the authority said.

The Kuwaiti army's General Staff Headquarters reported damage at Kuwait International Airport after an attack by Iranian drones on Wednesday.

Defense Ministry spokesperson Brig. Gen. Saud Abdulaziz Al-Otaibi said that "a number of hostile drones" attacked Terminal 1 at the airport.

The attack, he said in a post to the headquarters' X account, "resulted in significant material damage to the building and injuries to a number of individuals, who received the necessary medical care."

U.S. Central Command said Iran's claims to have successfully attacked a Middle Eastern U.S. airbase and the 5th Fleet headquarters in Bahrain were "false."

"All Iranian attacks on American forces failed. U.S. forces remain vigilant and ready to defend against unwarranted Iranian aggression," CENTCOM wrote in a post to X.
