The US Central Command has accused Iran of breaching the ceasefire after Kuwait managed to intercept Iranian ballistic missiles, an event that occurred just before the latest series of US defensive strikes against Iran. This assault on Kuwait underscored the potential for regional fallout from the US-Iran hostilities, which have seen Iran targeting US installations and allied nations across the Gulf. Kuwaiti defense officials verified the missile interception. This event directly preceded the US attacks on Iranian radar and command facilities on May 31.
