US rejects Iranian claim its missile interceptor damaged Kuwait airport

US Central Command has rejected an Iranian claim that damage to part of Kuwait International Airport’s passenger terminal was caused by a malfunctioning US-made Patriot missile system.

In a post on X, Centcom accused Iran of carrying out a deliberate attack on the facility.

“Iran struck the civilian airport with drones in a deliberate, calculated, and unjustified attack,” Centcom said.
