The live update says Iran struck Kuwait's airport and U.S. bases in retaliation, while Trump said talks with Tehran were still going on. At the same time, Israel and Lebanon renewed a fragile ceasefire, and the House moved to limit Trump's Iran war powers.
It is like two neighbors agreeing to stop yelling, but one keeps throwing rocks and the peace keeps wobbling. The airport attack, the shaky ceasefire, and the fight in Congress all show the conflict is still very unstable.
Analysis
What happened
CBS News says Kuwait reported an Iranian missile and drone attack on its international airport, killing one person and injuring dozens. Iran said the strike was retaliation for American airstrikes on Iranian military positions, which U.S. Central Command described as self-defense strikes.
Diplomatic pressure points
President Trump said reports that Tehran had suspended indirect talks were wrong and insisted the negotiations were still "going on continuously." But Iran's foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, said there had been "no tangible progress" in talks with the U.S. He also warned that any Israeli strike on Beirut would trigger a full-scale return to war.
Israel-Lebanon ceasefire
In a separate development, Israel and Lebanon agreed to renew their fragile ceasefire and create pilot security zones inside Lebanon where Hezbollah would be excluded. The joint statement said the ceasefire depends on a complete stop to Hezbollah fire and the removal of Hezbollah operatives from areas south of the Litani River. The Lebanese army would take full control of those zones.
U.S. politics
The House also voted 215 to 208 to force Trump to end the war with Iran without congressional authorization, with four Republicans joining Democrats. The vote shows growing resistance in Congress as the conflict stretches on.
Taken together, the update portrays a conflict that is still active on several fronts: military strikes, indirect diplomacy, and political pushback in Washington.
Key points
- Kuwait said an Iranian missile and drone attack hit its airport, killing one person and injuring dozens.
- Iran said the strike was retaliation for American attacks on Iranian military positions.
- Trump said indirect talks with Tehran were still ongoing, while Iran said there had been no tangible progress.
- Israel and Lebanon agreed to renew a fragile ceasefire and create security zones excluding Hezbollah.
- The House voted to limit Trump's ability to continue the war with Iran without congressional approval.
If the U.S.-mediated talks continue, they could still keep channels open between Washington and Tehran. The renewed Israel-Lebanon ceasefire and proposed security zones could also reduce fighting if the Lebanese army can take control and Hezbollah stays out.
The article shows several ways the situation could worsen: more strikes, more retaliation, and no progress in talks. Iran's warning about Beirut and the fragile ceasefire language suggest that one new attack could quickly widen the conflict again.
