DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The U.S. military on Thursday accused Iran of violating a fragile ceasefire after Kuwait reported coming under attack following an American strike against the Islamic Republic. It was the latest flare-up of fighting to threaten ongoing negotiations to end the war.
U.S. Central Command said Kuwait intercepted missiles fired from Iran late Wednesday, and military officials called the attack on one of America's top allies in the Persian Gulf an "egregious ceasefire violation."
Kuwait had earlier announced an attack on its territory, and Iran said it had retaliated for strikes earlier in the week by firing on a U.S. base in an Gulf state it did not name. The Kuwaiti Foreign Ministry condemned Iran for what it called "blatant aggression."
