At least one person in Kuwait has died and more than 60 others injured, after Iranian drone and missile strikes hit the international airport and other civilian infrastructure. The attacks forced Kuwaiti authorities to divert flights and close the airport earlier today. Tehran's attacks mark an escalation for Kuwait, a close US ally that had seen relative calm since the temporary war ceasefire in April. The US and Iran have traded blame over the latest strikes. Blake Sifton reports from Tel Aviv and Toni Waterman reports from Washington DC.
