US-Israel-Iran War News Live Updates: Kuwait Says Air Defences Intercept Missiles, Drones As Sirens Sound Nationwide

Kuwait’s military reported that its air defense systems intercepted hostile missiles and drones as air raid sirens sounded across the country. The announcement followed escalating tensions in the region amid ongoing conflicts involving Israel, Iran, and US military actions. The United States conducted strikes targeting Iranian radar installations and telecommunications facilities, focusing on infrastructure linked to Iran’s defense networks. The operation underscores heightened regional military activity as tensions rise between Israel and Iran. In Lebanon, Israeli forces captured the medieval Beaufort Castle, prompting an emergency UN Security Council session requested by France. The meeting follows Israel’s expanded military operations in the region, which have resulted in at least 12 deaths in Israeli strikes across Lebanon on Sunday. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio held discussions with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as part of a broader US initiative to de-escalate tensions. The proposal aims to prevent further deterioration of the crisis in Lebanon, where Israeli helicopter strikes near Gaza City reportedly killed two people and injured others. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump defended his proposed Iran nuclear agreement, rejecting reports that it lacked provisions addressing Tehran’s nuclear program. Trump stated that the deal explicitly prevents Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon and includes extensive nuclear-related details, contradicting media claims. The escalating violence and diplomatic efforts highlight the fragile stability in the region, with military actions and political negotiations unfolding simultaneously.
