Strikes on Kuwait’s International Airport have caused significant damage to the structure, with one fatality and over 60 injuries reported.

Originally aimed at Al-Salam airbase, the missile hit the nearby airport’s passenger terminal instead. Media biases are skewed towards the attack being “retaliatory,” referring to it as Iran’s retaliatory responses to protect them from Saudi Arabia.

The fact that the two parties are still speaking to each other “does bode well for at least the continuation status quo,” says Deen. Of course, compounding the problem of “good faith negotiations” and the conclusion of an agreement is Trump’s state of mind and US politics.
