Iran and the US trade strikes in the Persian Gulf, further testing the ceasefire

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Kuwait briefly shut the country’s main airport after Iranian drones heavily damaged it and killed one person. Civil aviation authorities said Wednesday that the airport would partially reopen with Kuwait Airways flights resuming from a different terminal from the one that was hit. The attack was the latest salvo in a series of back-and-forth attacks by Tehran and Washington that have tested a fragile ceasefire. The strikes came as semiofficial Iranian news agencies said the country had stopped communicating with mediators about extending a ceasefire in the war with the U.S. and Israel. A regional official said Tehran wanted the truce in Lebanon enforced before returning to talks. U.S. President Donald Trump disputed that claim and said negotiations were continuing.
