The US president confirmed that he called Netanyahu “crazy” and that he was “a little bit perturbed at his constantly fighting with Lebanon.” Trump’s podcast interview comes hours after one person was killed and multiple injuries were reported following an Iranian drone and missile strike on Kuwait’s international airport. Kuwait’s state news agency reported flight suspensions and diversions following the development. News agency Reuters reported that the attack hit the T1 building at the airport, and flights were diverted to alternative airports. Earlier, the US said it intercepted multiple Iranian drones in Kuwait moments after announcing that it conducted “self-defence” strikes on Iran’s Qeshm Island in response to waves of Iranian ballistic missiles fired at Kuwait and Bahrain. No sanctions relief for Iran: US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that the United States does not promise any relaxation of the sanctions imposed on Iran, even if the Islamic Republic opens the Strait of Hormuz. Rubio asserted that “any sanctions relief is conditional” on Tehran’s “commitment, or compliance” with agreements on not enriching uranium and pursuing alleged “nuclear activity”. War in Lebanon: While Israel kept its operation past the Litani River ongoing, Hezbollah said it fired 13 attacks against Israeli forces in southern Lebanon, Al Jazeera reported. In the meantime, Israeli and Lebanese officials held their fourth round of talks in Washington, DC, as Lebanon aims to achieve a cessation of hostilities. On Tuesday, following talks with US President Donald Trump, Hezbollah said the group would support a ceasefire as a precursor to the withdrawal of Israeli troops, while Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu said he would not attack Beirut but keep the operation in the southern Lebanon.
