The United States and Iran exchanged fresh attacks over the weekend, raising tensions in the Gulf region. The US military said it carried out "self-defence strikes" on Iranian radar and drone control sites after a US drone was shot down. Iran's Revolutionary Guard said it responded by targeting a US air base in Kuwait. Kuwaiti authorities said missiles and drones were intercepted and no major damage was reported. The latest attacks come as talks to extend a ceasefire remain stalled. Both sides have accused each other of violating agreements, while negotiations over a broader peace deal continue without a breakthrough. (PC: Reuters)
