An Iranian attack on Kuwait International Airport has left one person dead and around 63 injured, according to the Kuwaiti Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The casualties included both passengers and airport personnel, Reuters reported.

Kuwait Airways announced it is resuming flights from the affected airport, operating through one of its terminals. The incident occurred shortly after Iran's Foreign Ministry condemned a U.S. attack on one of its oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and a telecommunications tower on Qeshm Island.

Tehran asserted that Kuwait and Bahrain bear "direct and clear responsibility" for the attacks, alleging that their territories and facilities were used to support U.S. military operations against Iran. The Iranian ministry further stated that Tehran reserves the right to self-defense and will use all available means to respond, including targeting the source of future attacks.
