Turkish and Kuwaiti Diplomats Discuss Tensions Amid Recent Drone Incident

Ankara: Trkiye's Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan and his Kuwaiti counterpart Jarrah Jaber Al Ahmad Al Sabah discussed the latest situation in the region during a phone call, as confirmed by Turkish diplomatic sources. The conversation focused on regional developments, but no further specifics were disclosed, according to these sources.

According to Anadolu Agency, Kuwait recently announced that its army intercepted and destroyed Iranian drones following an attack targeting a government facility and civilian vehicles on Bubiyan Island. The incident resulted in material damage but no casualties. Defense Ministry spokesman Saud Al-Atwan reported that the Kuwaiti armed forces detected 'hostile drones' in the country's airspace, describing the event as 'Iranian aggression' against vital installations.

Tensions in the region have been on the rise since February, following a joint US-Israeli offensive against Iran. In retaliation, Tehran launched missile and drone strikes targeting Gulf nations that house US military assets. Meanwhile, Pakistani government sources revealed that no date or venue has been set for the resumption of stalled US-Iran direct talks aimed at resolving their ongoing conflict.

US President Donald Trump mentioned that new negotiations with Tehran were scheduled to start on Monday afternoon after he postponed military strikes on Iran. However, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei stated that Tehran was not engaged in any negotiations with Washington.
