Kuwait has accused Iran of launching drone attacks despite the ceasefire in the Iran war. Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard has denied the claim. The Kuwaiti statement comes as President Donald Trump has cast doubt on the effectiveness of a two-week ceasefire with Iran. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has offered a potential boost to peace efforts by approving direct talks with Lebanon. The government in Beirut has not yet responded. Talks between the United States and Iran are expected this weekend in Islamabad.

Khalil, a legal permanent resident, was the first publicly known arrest during the Trump administration’s crackdown on noncitizens critical of Israel. He denies any connection to Hamas or allegations of antisemitism. His attorneys recently requested a U.S. appeals court reconsider a separate decision that found he could be deported.
