The exchange of fire on Friday came days after renewed strikes between the U.S. and Iran. According to the BBC, one person was killed and dozens injured in an Iranian drone strike on Kuwait’s international airport earlier this week, with the U.S. retaliating with what it called “self-defense” strikes on Iran.
Iran has repeatedly targeted Kuwait and Bahrein, where U.S. bases are located.
With talks between Iran and the U.S. stalling, navigation in the Strait of Hormuz remains sharply reduced, causing a lasting spike in oil prices.
But even as hostilities continue between the two countries, Washington has granted visas to Iran’s World Cup football team, ahead of the first match in Los Angeles this month.
In another sign of continued regional instability, Israel carried out strikes in southern Lebanon after the militant group Hezbollah rejected a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon.
