Iran’s recent strikes against Kuwait’s main airport and surrounding violence test a fragile ceasefire in the region. Iranian drones damaged a passenger terminal, killing an Indian national and injuring dozens, prompting Kuwait to briefly suspend flights. U.S. forces said Iran also fired missiles at Kuwait, further compounding regional tensions, while Iranian authorities reported downed drones aimed at American troops. The broader conflict has strained ties and pushed global fuel prices higher, with mediators reporting Tehran has paused talks on extending the ceasefire. The developments come as the U.S. and Israel navigate difficult diplomacy. Across fronts, Ukrainian drones struck a St. Petersburg oil terminal, igniting a blaze as the city hosted a major Russian economic forum, with authorities confirming the strike but offering few details.
