June 3 (UPI) -- Kuwait closed its main airport in Kuwait City on Wednesday after Iranian missile and drone strikes injured several people and caused "significant damage" to its main terminal building as renewed hostilities between the Iran and the United States escalated.

The airport activated its emergency plan, suspending all flights indefinitely after its Terminal 1 building was the target of "Iranian aggression, resulting in significant damage to several airport facilities, in addition to recording human injuries," the Directorate General of Civil Aviation said in an update on X.

DGCA spokesman Abdullah Al-Rajhi said it has been decided to suspend air traffic and divert flights to alternative airports until further notice pending the completion of repair work to enable the airport to resume operations, saying that inspection and comprehensive assessment by technical and specialized teams was already underway.

Iran is not defeated.

Iran retains the ability to project power outside its own borders.

The Strait of Hormuz remains closed.

Iran retains the Highly Enriched U-235.

The Iranian regime remains in power.

All while POTUS plans UFC fights on the White House lawn.

Um, no counter-battery?

Should it not be immediate and violent? Or are we just doing "tit-for-tat"?

The US unilateral ceasefire is holding. And 47 is sending US air power home.

All that remains is 47’s chatter about “deals” that never happen.

Major victory over the Great Satan. Iran shows the way for China and others to do as they please. Any military action by the US against them will result in their net gain, like Iran gets to charge shipping for passage now, whereas before it was free. All the rest is just meaningless blather, without significance.

Carter was a weak President, but 47 has him beat. In spades.

You are a weak simpleton falling for Iranian propaganda. Free Republic wasn't always like this.

Trump is the best POTUS ever.

Can a defeated country still launch a missile and some drones or if they do it means they won?

Congratulations on starting another whiney anti-Trumper thread. The airport was opened 5 hours later and the drone attack, only terminal one remained closed with one person killed and a partially collapsed roof.

This is not good evidence that the “Iran is not defeated”. There were Japanese soldiers that did not surrender until 1974, 29 years after the end of WWII.

You and the other group of extreme anti-Trump whiners here should probably just go someplace else where your brand of idiocy would be appreciated by a larger number of people who have lost the faith. I am going to work on booking you a special appearance on The View where I am sure you would be able to yuck it up.

“Iran is defeated”…..“We are close to a peace deal” …”the war is over”….. Iran terrorist still in power, still has the Straight closed, still bombing our allies, and not done anything since the so called Cease Fire. Trump administration losing all the built up credibility real fast.

All I can say is, I hope our guys have been stocking up on fresh shipments of bombs while all this has been going on.
