India\u2019s embassy said the person killed was an Indian national. <\/p>\n

\u2018We condemn the attack on the Kuwait International Airport today through which an Indian national has died and several other of our nationals are injured,\u2019 India\u2019s foreign ministry said in a press release. <\/p>\n

\u2018We again call upon parties to stop such attacks,\u2019 it added.<\/p>\n

The strike got here after Donald Trump was pictured golfing with a blonde aide and told Americans to loosen up over any ceasefire<\/p>\n

On Truth Social, he wrote: \u2018Iran\u00a0really desires to make a deal, and it’s going to be a very good one for the usA. and people which can be with us.<\/p>\n

\u2018Just sit back and loosen up, it’s going to all\u00a0work\u00a0out well ultimately \u2013 It at all times does!\u2019<\/p>\n

Iran\u00a0has maintained its chokehold on the\u00a0Strait of Hormuz, disrupting global energy supplies as a fifth of all oil and natural gas passes through the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf.<\/p>\n

One in every of the sticking points in any ceasefire is Israeli strikes on Lebanon.<\/p>\n

Trump cursed and told Benjamin Netanyahu he could be in \u2018prison\u2019 if it weren’t for him in a tense call between the 2 leaders.<\/p>\n

Trump reportedly told the Israeli Prime Minister: \u2018What the f*** are you doing?\u2019 as he threatened to resume airstrikes on Beirut\u2019s southern suburbs.<\/p>\n

\u2018You\u2019re f***ing crazy. You\u2019d be in prison if it weren\u2019t for me. I\u2019m saving your ass. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel for this reason,\u2019 the US president said, in accordance with Axios.<\/p>\n

Trump admitted the story saying he was \u2018a bit bit perturbed\u2019 that\u00a0Israel\u2019s fighting with Hezbollah<\/a> in Lebanon was holding back peace talks.<\/p>\n

But at the same time as the US president conceded the tensions, he insisted that his relationship with Netanyahu was solid and that they connected, partly, because they’re each \u2018wartime\u2019 leaders.<\/p>\n

\u2018We\u2019ve worked thoroughly together. I like Bibi rather a lot. And I work thoroughly with him,\u2019 Trump told The Recent York Post.<\/p>\n
