Kuwait International Airport was forced to suspend all commercial flights on June 3, 2026, following drone strikes attributed to Iran that caused significant damage to the T1 terminal and resulted in one fatality. The incident escalates ongoing tensions between Iran and the US, as Iranian news agencies indicated a halt in ceasefire negotiations, demanding enforcement of a truce in Lebanon before resuming talks. In response to the attack, Kuwait implemented its emergency airport plan, diverting incoming flights and conducting safety assessments. Major airlines, including IndiGo and Kuwait Airways, have suspended operations due to the airspace closure, affecting numerous travelers. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed the drone strikes were retaliation for a US missile attack on an oil tanker, while US Central Command refuted claims of successful Iranian strikes on military installations. The airport closure is expected to disrupt regional travel as authorities continue to investigate the extent of the damage.
