US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has condemned Iran's "outrageous and unacceptable" attacks on Kuwait's international airport that killed one person and injured 63.

According to astatementfrom the US State Department, during a meeting with Kuwaiti Foreign Minister Jarrah Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah in Washington, Rubio condemned "Irans outrageous and unacceptable attacks targeting Kuwait International Airport and other parts of the country."

According to the statement, Rubio also expressed condolences "for those killed and injured in that attack."

Kuwaiti officials said Iran launched 30 ballistic missiles and drones in the strike. One Indian citizen was killed.

IAEA Urges Tehran To Engage On Iran's Nuclear Material

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) called on Tehran to engage "constructively" with the agency regarding the country's nuclear material, according to a confidential report cited by Reuters and AFP on June 4.

"While the agency acknowledged that the military attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities and sites have created an unprecedented situation, it is critical for the agency to conduct verification activities in Iran without delay," the IAEA said.

The nuclear watchdog has not had access to some of Iran's key nuclear facilities since the start of the 12-day war involving Israel, the United States, and Iran a year ago, which included attacks on Iran's nuclear sites.

The report comes as a fragile cease-fire between the United States and Iran hangs in the balance amid stalled negotiations that are about to enter their third month without yielding any concrete results.

While details of the current negotiations remain uncertain, the matter of Iran's nuclear ambitions and the fate of the country's enriched uranium remains in the spotlight.

US President Donald Trump, who has said there has been positive momentum in talks in recent days, said Tehran had made a major concession by stating that it would not seek to obtain a nuclear weapon.

On the state of the negotiations, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi has warned against "speculation," saying Tehran could not assess the negotiating process until there was a clear outcome.

Kuwait Releases Images Of Attack On Airport

Kuwait's Civil Aviation Authority released images of a drone attack on the country's international airport that took place on June 3.

CCTV footage from the airport's interior and exterior shows a kamikaze drone crashing into the roof of a terminal, causing a large explosion.

Kuwait says one person was killed and more than 60 were injured in the attack. The deceased was an Indian national, and India's Foreign Ministry said several other Indian citizens were also injured in the attack.

Interior Minister Sheikh Fahd Yousef Saud Al-Sabah called the attack "a heinous Iranian aggression" during a visit to the Terminal 1 building of Kuwait International Airport.

Tehran says the attacks on Kuwait and Bahrain were in response to the US military's attack on an oil tanker en route to Iranian ports, as well as an attack on an Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps communications tower on Qeshm Island.
