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."

1 killed in Iranian attacks on Kuwait, foreign ministry says

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.
