Shafaq News- Kuwait

Iran launched a Fateh-110 ballisticmissile toward Kuwait within the past 24 hours, with Kuwaiti air defensesystems intercepting and destroying it mid-flight, Bloomberg reported Saturday,citing sources familiar with the incident.

    Debris from the interception fellinside Ali Al-Salem Air Base in northwestern Kuwait, injuring five Americans—soldiers and military contractors among them— and destroying one MQ-9 Reaperdrone outright while severely damaging a second.

    The Kuwaiti Foreign Ministrycondemned “the flagrant Iranian violation of Kuwaiti sovereignty,” reservingthe right to take all necessary measures under international law.

    Washington had accused Iran onThursday of violating the 50-day-old ceasefire following the alleged launch, acharge Tehran has not formally answered.

    The incident unfolded against thebackdrop of fragile US-Iran negotiations over a draft memorandum ofunderstanding that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz, through which roughlyone-fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas supplies transit, while reducingtensions across several regional theaters, including Lebanon.

    Trump announced Friday thatWashington would lift its naval blockade of the Strait, calling for itsimmediate reopening free of transit fees, adding that Iran must commit to neveracquiring a nuclear weapon and demanded unrestricted two-way maritime traffic.On enriched nuclear material, Trump said it would be extracted by the UnitedStates —in coordination with Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency—and destroyed. He added that no financial transfers would take place untilfurther notice.

    Iran's state-affiliated Fars NewsAgency, citing informed sources, said that Trump's remarks were a mix of truthand falsehood designed to project a political victory before any final deal isapproved. “The draft memorandum remains under review in Tehran and has notreceived final authorization.” The sources also pointed to provisions Trump didnot mention publicly: the release of $12 billion in frozen Iranian assets and aceasefire arrangement in Lebanon.
