The attacks marked one of the more severe tests yet of a fragile April 8 ceasefire, that has largely held despite sporadic strikes after more than a month of war sparked by the US and Israeli attack on Iran.Kuwaiti officials blamed the attack on the airport on Iran, whose Revolutionary Guards accused US forces of triggering the night's sequence of attacks by targeting a communications tower on the country's Qeshm Island, forcing it to respond.But, with Bahrein also complaining of an overnight drone attacks from Iran, the United Arab Emirates attempted to rally its Gulf neighbours in opposition to Tehran."In light of Iran's repeated aggression against the sisterly states of Kuwait and Bahrain, a firm, unified, and cohesive Gulf stance is imperative," UAE presidential advisor Anwar Gargash posted on social media. "This aggression does not just target one country, it targets us all." Kuwait's ministry of defence spokesman Brigadier General Saud Abdulaziz Al-Atwan described the airport strikes as "criminal Iranian aggression which resulted in significant material damage to the building and injuries".
