Fox News said at least one person was killed and more than 60 were wounded. U.S. Central Command stated an additional wave of drones aimed at U.S. forces in Kuwait was intercepted and did not harm American personnel or assets, and it denied an earlier IRGC claim that attacks on U.S. facilities had succeeded. Kuwait said it intercepted dozens of incoming missiles\/drones, with debris falling in residential areas, and Bahrain said missiles and drones were intercepted in an attack on the U.S. fifth Fleet headquarters.Flights at Kuwait International Airport were suspended for several hours. Kuwait also expelled two Iranian diplomats in response. The article adds that Iran says its strikes were retaliation for U.S. military actions, including attacks on an Iranian oil tanker and a communications tower near Qeshm Island.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Iran launched a devastating attack on Kuwait Wednesday even as negotiations to end the war continue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt least one person has been killed and more than 60 have been wounded after Iran launched a barrage of missiles and drones at Kuwait and Bahrain overnight,\u201d Fox News <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/FoxNews\/status\/2062148685115404738\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe escalation comes as the Trump administration continues nuclear talks with Iran, while maintaining that sanctions relief will depend on Tehran agreeing to strict limits on its nuclear program,\u201d the report added.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">BREAKING: At least one person has been killed and more than 60 have been wounded after Iran launched a barrage of missiles and drones at Kuwait and Bahrain overnight.<\/p>\n<p>CENTCOM says an additional wave of drones attempting to attack U.S. forces in Kuwait were downed and that no\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/kVzf2HKaBh\">pic.twitter.com\/kVzf2HKaBh<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Fox News (@FoxNews) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/FoxNews\/status\/2062148685115404738?\">June 3, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/live-news\/trump-iran-war-israel-lebanon-hormuz-june-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox News<\/a> reported that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hezbollah-attacks-israel-with-rocket-fire\/\" title=\"Hezbollah ...
