Kuwait comes under missile attack from Iran as Trump's ceasefire on brink of collapse
The Kuwaiti military has said it is 'repelling missile and drone attacks' from Iran as the Middle East moves closer to a new war amid a fragile ceasefire
Kuwait has come under intense missile attack from Iran as the Middle East edges ever closer to full-scale conflict.
The Kuwaiti military wrote in a post on X early on Wednesday, May 3: "Kuwaiti air defenses are currently repelling missile and drone attacks."
"The General Staff of the Army notes that if explosion sounds are heard, they are the result of air defense systems intercepting the hostile attacks."
"Everyone is asked to comply with the security and safety instructions issued by the relevant authorities."
Iranian state media has reported that the missiles are targeting US Camp Arifjan and Ali al-Salem airbase near Kuwait City.
The bombardment comes amid a fragile short-term ceasefire between the US and Iran.
The US and Israel launched coordinated strikes against several key Iranian targets on February 28.
Iran hit back by targeting sites throughout the Middle East and shutting down the vital Strait of Hormuz trade route, through which 20% of global oil traded passes.
Iran and the US have been engaged in ongoing negotiations in a bid to resolve the crisis, yet have so far been unable to broker a lasting peace agreement as the region remains on tenterhooks.
One X user based in Kuwait wrote: "Did I just hear an explosion or am I imagining it?????!!! Our house shook [sic]"
This attacks are the latest escalation in the conflict after Israel and Hezbollah exchanged strikes despite a ceasefire in place.
US President Donald Trump said that after "a very productive call" with Netanyahu and later with Hezbollah chiefs, "any [Israeli] troops that are on their way" to Beirut had been turned back.
The US leader said in an interview on Monday that he thinks he thinks an agreement with Iran to extend the ceasefire and reopen the Strait of Hormuz could happen "over the next week."
