Kuwait's Ministry of Defense on Friday confirmed that the country had been hit in attacks from two drones at the northern border posts, potentially straining the ceasefire on the war in the Gulf, which began almost two months ago.
It added that the explosive-laden drones had been launched from Iraq, and had caused material damage, but no casualties, as per a report from the state-run Kuwait News Agency.
This is expected to be a major strain on the ceasefire in the Gulf, which was extended indefinitely by US President Donald Trump earlier this week.
Trump had declared that the ceasefire extension would remain till "fractured" Iran presented a "unified proposal" to end the war.
"I have therefore directed our Military to continue the Blockade and, in all other respects, remain ready and able, and will therefore extend the Ceasefire until such time as their proposal is submitted," he wrote in a Truth Social post on Tuesday.
Iran, however, has flagged the ongoing US Navy blockade of the Strait of Hormuz as a ceasefire violation—one of the major reasons why peace talks in Islamabad between the US and Iran remain deadlocked.
To that end, Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is expected to reach Islamabad later on Friday for "consultations", followed by delegations from Oman and Russia.
While Pakistani officials have expressed hope that the bilateral talks would lead to a second round of US-Iran talks, Trump dialled up the rhetoric with indirect threats against Tehran on Friday.
"Why would I use a nuclear weapon? We've totally, in a very conventional way, decimated them without it," he told reporters at the White House when asked if the war in the Gulf could go nuclear.
He also pointed out that though he was in no hurry to end the war, the "clock (was) ticking" for Iran, and has also ordered the deployment of a third US Navy aircraft carrier into the region.
This is the USS George HW Bush, which has entered the area of operations under the US military's Central Command (CENTCOM), in addition to the USS Abraham Lincoln stationed in the Arabian Sea and the USS Gerald R Ford in the Red Sea.
