After Iranian attacks on Kuwait damaged its airport and injured dozens, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says in a post on X that his country’s armed forces are conducting “self-defense strikes on sites the US is permitted to use to attack civilian shipping and violate the ceasefire.”

“Any hostile act will be met with an immediate, decisive response,” he adds.
