Overview
- Kuwaiti officials said Iranian drones struck the passenger terminal at Kuwait International Airport on Wednesday, killing one person, wounding about 63 and forcing a temporary suspension of flights.
- The U.S. military said it carried out strikes on a military ground control site on Qeshm Island in response to attempted Iranian attacks, while CENTCOM denied Tehran’s claim that it struck a U.S.-linked naval vessel.
- Iran reported that communications with Washington remain open but that there is “no tangible progress” in negotiations and tied any broader deal to stopping fighting in Lebanon.
- The U.S. House of Representatives voted 215-208 to rebuke the president and seek limits on U.S. military action in Iran, a largely symbolic move that nonetheless signals rising domestic pressure.
- The back-and-forth has kept the Strait of Hormuz a flashpoint, sustained shipping and energy risks, and raised the danger of miscalculation that could draw the wider region further into war.
