Iranian drone strikes Kuwait airport terminal, killing 1 and injuring dozens

One person was killed and dozens more were injured when drones targeted a passenger terminal at Kuwait's main international airport on Wednesday, according to reports citing Kuwaiti authorities.

Kuwait's defence ministry spokesman described the incident as "criminal Iranian aggression." The Kuwaiti foreign ministry stated that diplomatic missions had been damaged and ordered two Iranian diplomats to leave the country within 24 hours.

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps denied responsibility for any strike on the Kuwait airport and said the damage resulted from a U.S. missile interceptor error. " The IRGC said it had targeted U.S. bases in the Gulf in retaliation for earlier U.S. strikes on an Iranian oil tanker and Qeshm Island.

Centcom said the U.S. strikes were launched in self-defence after Iran attempted attacks across the region.

The strikes occurred as ceasefire talks between the U.S. and Iran stalled over the weekend. President Trump told the Pod Force One podcast that Iran had "already agreed" not to have a nuclear weapon and that he would like to meet Iran's supreme leader. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio told Congress that any sanctions relief would be condition-based and tied to Iran's nuclear programme.

The person killed was later identified as an Indian citizen. India's foreign ministry condemned the attack and said several other Indian nationals were injured. "We again call upon parties to cease such attacks."
