Kuwaiti air defenses intercepted a drone and missile attack on June 1, the same day that Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed it had responded to a U.S. attack on an Iranian telecommunications tower, AP reported on June 1. On the same day, the IRGC-linked Tasnim News Agency reported that Iran had suspended discussions with the United States and communications via intermediaries due to ongoing Israeli operations in Lebanon; Tehran also called for the full closure of the Strait of Hormuz and for Yemen's Houthi rebels to disrupt shipping in the Bab el-Mandeb strait.
