Iran launches missiles at Kuwait, US attacks near the Strait of Hormuz.

Fighting in the Gulf flared up again on June 3rd when Iran attacked a Kuwaiti airport while the US military conducted attacks near the Strait of Hormuz.

The attacks on June 3rd caused oil prices to rise nearly 2%, as the Strait of Hormuz remains blockaded more than three months after the US and Israel launched attacks on Iran.

Flights at Kuwait International Airport have been suspended following an Iranian drone and missile attack that damaged the airport and diplomatic facilities, killing one person and injuring more than 60 others, according to Kuwaiti authorities and state media.

Kuwait Airways and Jazeera Airways subsequently resumed flights after implementing safety measures, the civil aviation authority said.

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it did not target the Kuwaiti airport and blamed the failure of the U.S. interceptor missiles for missing their target, according to Iranian state media.

The U.S. military said that was inaccurate and that the Iranian drones had deliberately targeted the airport.

Earlier, Iranian media reported that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had attacked the headquarters of the US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain and a US air base, as well as a ship identified as the Panaya. The US Central Command (CENTCOM) denied that its bases had been attacked and said that Iranian ballistic missiles did not strike its targets in the region.

CENTCOM said it had carried out a new "defensive strike" in southern Iran, targeting missile launch sites and Iranian ships seeking to lay mines, and also conducted attacks on Qeshm Island near the Strait of Hormuz after Iran attempted to attack it.
