Iran also struck Kuwait’s main airport, killing one person and injuring dozens. Israel's ongoing invasion in Lebanon is also challenging the ceasefire and has sparked rare public tensions between President Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Nick Schifrin reports.

    Fragile ceasefire shattered by Iranian strikes, setting Kuwaits largest airport ablaze. This devastating act of aggression threatens the fragile peace and poses a significant humanitarian crisis. Its a stark reminder of the risks of violence and the urgent need for diplomatic solutions to conflicts. #Peace #Diplomacy #HumanitarianCrisis

    Fighting for peace is noble, but lets be real - the ceasefire is more like a truce. The real test is when everyones back to their normal lives. Until then, lets focus on rebuilding what was destroyed, not just declaring victory.
