US-Israel-Iran War News Today LIVE Updates: The peace truce to pause the war in Iran appeared fragile on Friday after Kuwait said that drone attacks carried out by Iran and its allied groups targeted important facilities in the country on Thursday evening. The foreign ministry called these strikes a violation of Kuwait’s sovereignty and airspace.
However, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) denied on state media launching any attacks toward Gulf countries during the ceasefire period, adding that if Iran were to carry out any strike, it would announce it publicly in an official statement.
Kuwait said the attacks undermined recent ceasefire efforts between the United States and Iran, and said it reserved the right to take all necessary measures to protect its sovereignty and stability.

Israel-Lebanon Talks
Meanwhile, peace talks between Israel and Lebanon are likely to begin next week in Washington, news agency AP reported. However, Hezbollah has firmly rejected any proposal for direct negotiations.
As per the report, the negotiations are expected to take place at the US State Department.
The development came after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday said that he has authorised direct negotiations with Lebanon “as soon as possible”.
US President Donald Trump announced a two-week ceasefire between Washington and Tehran on Tuesday. Both Washington and Tehran declared victory after agreeing to a two-week truce and talks aimed at ending a war that has killed thousands across the Middle East and disrupted the global economy.
However, signs of strain appeared quickly on Wednesday as Israel carried out its most intense strikes on neighbouring Lebanon, including densely populated areas of central Beirut, since the Iran-backed group Hezbollah entered the conflict in early March.
