Iran fired ballistic missiles and drones toward Bahrain and Kuwait, which were intercepted, amid a fragile ceasefire in the ongoing conflict in West Asia.

Pakistan's interior minister arrived in Iran for mediation efforts as the US presses Iran to make a deal to end the war.

The latest exchange of fire strained the tenuous ceasefire and efforts to reach a deal to extend it.

US President Donald Trump said the situation with Iran 'seems to be going quite well,' but Iranian officials have shown no public signs of approving a tentative agreement to extend the ceasefire.

The US-Iran conflict has strained the global economy and threatened a hunger crisis in some of the world's most vulnerable countries.
