Kuwait Releases Images Of Attack On Airport
Kuwait's Civil Aviation Authority released images of a drone attack on the country's international airport that took place on June 3.
CCTV footage from the airport's interior and exterior shows a kamikaze drone crashing into the roof of a terminal, causing a large explosion.
Kuwait says one person was killed and more than 60 were injured in the attack. The deceased was an Indian national, and India's Foreign Ministry said several other Indian citizens were also injured in the attack.
Interior Minister Sheikh Fahd Yousef Saud Al-Sabah called the attack "a heinous Iranian aggression" during a visit to the Terminal 1 building of Kuwait International Airport.
Tehran says the attacks on Kuwait and Bahrain were in response to the US military's attack on an oil tanker en route to Iranian ports, as well as an attack on an Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps communications tower on Qeshm Island.

Israel, Lebanon Agree To Cease-Fire In US-Led Talks
As a result of US-led negotiations, Israel and Lebanonhave agreedto the implementation of a cease-fire, the US State Department announced in a statement on June 3.
Israel and Lebanon also agreed to swiftly advance the creation of pilot zones in which the Lebanese Armed Forces will assume exclusive control of the territory, excluding all non-state actors, the statement said.
These steps will facilitate progress toward a comprehensive peace and security agreement, it added.
Israel reaffirmed that its security and territorial integrity can only be ensured through the disarmament of Hezbollah and the dismantling of its infrastructure across Lebanon, according to the statement. The two parties agreed to reconvene the political and security tracks during the week of June 22 with the aim of reaching a comprehensive agreement.
Hezbollah is both a militant group and political party that controls much of southern Lebanon. It is considered a terrorist organization by the United States, although the European Union has only blacklisted its armed wing.
The State Department said the United States had agreed to continue facilitating communication between the parties in the interim.
All parties condemned Iran's attacks on countriesin the region and ongoing activities that undermine stability throughout the Middle East, the State Department also said in the statement.
Before the cease-fire announcement, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi warned that any Israeli attack on the Lebanese capital, Beirut, would lead to "grave consequences and a full resumption of war."
His comments came amid ongoing tensions surrounding the fragile cease-fire between Iran and the United States, partly fueled by continued fighting in Lebanon.

US House Approves Measure To End Iran War As Rubio Insists Conflict Is Over
The US House of Representatives approved a war powers resolution aimed at curbing President Donald Trump's military campaign against Iran, delivering a bipartisan rebuke to the administration even as Secretary of State Marco Rubio insisted that US operations against Tehran had ended.
The House voted 215-208 on June 3 in favor of the measure, with four Republicans joining all Democrats in support.
The resolution, introduced by Representative Gregory Meeks of New York, directs Trump to remove US armed forces from hostilities with Iran unless Congress formally declares war or authorizes the use of military force.
The measure now heads to the Senate, where lawmakers are considering a separate war powers resolution. Even if approved by both chambers, Trump is expected to challenge efforts to limit his authority, and the House measure itself is largely viewed as symbolic because it does not carry the force of law.

US Central Command Denies Iranian Attack On US Destroyer
US military officials have been rejecting claims by Iranian official media regarding ongoing operations in the Persian Gulf region.
A statement issued on social media denied a report by Irans Tasnim news agency, which is linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), saying that Iranian armed forces had targeted a US destroyer as it approached Iranian territorial waters in the Gulf of Oman.
Iran is lying. US military assets at sea continue to fly, sail, and operate safely and unimpeded, said the post by US Central Command (CENTCOM).
Earlier, CENTCOM also contradicted Iranian reports that the IRGC had said Iran was not responsible for the deadly attack on Kuwaits international airport on June 3.
Iranian state media quoted an IRGC spokesman as saying that the strike, that damaged part of a passenger terminal, was caused by a malfunctioning US-made Patriot air defense system.
This was despite the fact that earlier, the IRGC said the attack was retaliation for previous US strikes in recent days.
Iran struck the civilian airport with drones in a deliberate, calculated, and unjustified attack, CENTCOM said in another social media post.
Kuwait also blamed Iran for the attack.
"Iran's blatant acts of aggression...escalate tensions, undermine security and stability of the region, and constitute a flagrant violation of international law," Kuwait's Foreign Ministry said in astatement.
Battlefield claims could not be independently verified.

Iranian Foreign Minister Says Attack On Beirut Will Mean 'Full Resumption Of War'
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi has said any Israeli attack on the Lebanese capital, Beirut, would lead to "grave consequences and a full resumption of war."
Araqchi was speaking in an interview with Lebanese news outlet Al Mayadeen.
His comments come amid ongoing tensions in the shaky cease-fire between Iran and the United States, partly fueled by ongoing fighting in Lebanon.
Earlier this week, Israel threatened to attack Beirut as its forces moved north of the Litani River, deeper into Lebanese territory, as if fought Iranian proxy force Hezbollah.
Hezbollah is both a militant group and political party that controls much of southern Lebanon. It is considered a terrorist organization by the United States, although the European Union has only blacklisted its armed wing.
Israel's threat was followed by news reports from Iran saying Tehran had decided to stop sending messages to Washington via intermediaries due to the Israeli campaign.
US President Donald Trump subsequently said he had got Israel and Hezbollah to agree not to attack each other and that US and Iranian negotiators were continuing to exchange messages.
Speaking with Al Mayadeen, Araqchi also said contact with Washington had not been cut off. However, he added, no progress had been made in negotiations.

US Arrests US-Iranian Citizen For Allegedly Selling Tech To Tehran
US law enforcement has arrested a dual US-Iranian citizen for allegedly selling "sophisticated US-origin networking, security, and encryption equipment" to customers including the Iranian military, in violation of longstanding sanctions.
A statement by the US Attorney's Office said 63-year-old Jamshid Ghomi would appear in court in Santa Ana, California.
If convicted, he could face 20 years in prison and seizure of assets including a $35 million mansion in Newport Beach.
"Ghomi is accused of aiding our declared enemies by selling US-origin computer networking parts to Iran and earning millions of dollars in violation of US sanction laws," said First Assistant US Attorney Bill Essayli.
Prosecutors allege Ghomi sold the sanctioned tech via front companies in the United Arab Emirates from 2011 until 2023, according to the Attorney's Office statement.

Netanyahu On Iran's Attack On Kuwait: They're 'Playing With Fire'

Speaking to CNBC, Netanyahu was asked whether the cease-fire remained intact after the latest strikes on Kuwait and Bahrain.

"Iran certainly knows that the president said if necessary there will be a full return to military action," he replied.
Netanyahu noted that any decision on renewed military action would ultimately be up to US President Donald Trump.
"Israel is ready and American forces are ready. I think Iran should consider this," Netanyahu added. "I think they have considered this, but it is clear that they are playing with fire."
According to Kuwaiti authorities, the attacks involving missiles and drones resulted in casualties and injuries.
During the interview, Netanyahu also addressed reports that he had a difficult phone conversation with Trump earlier in the week. While declining to discuss specific details, he dismissed suggestions that the exchange reflected a major dispute between them.
"I don't want to get into the details of our conversations. We've spoken thousands of times, or at least many times.... If you think that's a crisis, you should be in some other conversations! But we've always found a way to solve problems."
Netanyahu emphasized that he and Trump continue to share the same fundamental objectives regarding Iran, saying, "We agree on the core things."
He said those shared goals include preventing Iran from posing a threat to Israel, the broader Middle East, and the international community.
In an interview broadcast on June 3, Trump was asked whether he had called the longtime Israeli leader "effing crazy" and accused him of ingratitude, paraphrasing a report by Axios.
"I did," Trump told the Pod Force One podcast. "I wouldn't say angry. I was a little bit perturbed at his constantly fighting with Lebanon, you know."
Trump went on to say he and Netanyahu get along very well.

EU Proposes Naval Mission For 'Primary Role' Clearing Mines In Strait Of Hormuz
The European Union's diplomatic service has proposed assigning the EU naval mission Aspides a primary role in clearing mines in the Strait of Hormuz as part of a France- and UK-led coalition to be activated "when conditions allow."
According to a May 26 EEAS note seen by Reuters, the EU should make a "meaningful contribution" to a coalition led by France and the United Kingdom and operating separately from direct parties to the conflict.
Aspides was established in 2024 to protect commercial shipping from Houthi attacks in and around the Red Sea. Any change to the mission's mandate would require unanimous approval from all 27 EU member states.
The EEAS note stated that the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz and Iran's selective authorization of passage has had major consequences for both the region and Europe. Roughly one-fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas shipments normally transit the strait.
France and the United Kingdom have been leading efforts to organize a multinational maritime coalition aimed at restoring safe navigation through the waterway once conditions permit.

Iranians Have 'Become Poor' As War Shatters Already Reeling Economy
An Iranian woman shops in a local market in Tehran.
Masud has been forced to sell off his household appliances in order to survive Iran's deepening economic crisis.
The United States and Israel's bombing campaign has left much of Iran's infrastructure and industries in tatters, fueling runaway inflation and joblessness.
"We have sold our furniture just to get by," Masud, a resident of the capital Tehran, told RFE/RL's Radio Farda using a pseudonym for fear of retribution. "We gathered electrical appliances from the house, took carpets and things like that, and sold them."
Masud is not alone. Millions of Iranians are grappling with the economic fallout from the three-month-long war.
Years of international sanctions and government mismanagement had already crippled Iran's economy. Now, the country of 90 million people is confronting a complete economic collapse.
