An Iranian drone and ​missile attack struck Kuwait's international ‌airport early on Wednesday, causing injuries and forcing authorities to divert flights, ​Kuwait's state news agency ​reported.

Iran fired missiles at Kuwait and Bahrain, prompting U.S. strikes on an Iranian facility. Tensions escalate amid stalled peace talks and soaring inflation in Iran.

The U.S. military said Tuesday that Iran fired missiles at Kuwait and Bahrain that failed or were shot down, and that the U.S. launched strikes on an Iranian facility in response.

According to the release, Iranian missiles were launched toward regional neighbors Kuwait and Bahrain. American military forces were able to shoot down three one-way attack drones, officials said, adding that Iran launched the UAVs toward “civilian mariners” who were “rightfully transiting regional waters.

"If we ​start to see further escalation, that could also dampen whatever recovery that gold might have had." According to Iranian state media, the country's Revolutionary Guards Corps attacked the U.S.

Kuwait says it is intercepting enemy missile and drone attacks. While it has not yet identified who it believes is behind the attack, the news follows Iranian media reports of “explosion-like sounds” near Iran’s Qeshm island.
