(FOX NEWS) — Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with the Kuwaiti foreign minister on Thursday, according to State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott.

This came a day after Kuwait briefly closed its main airport after an Iranian drone strike damaged a passenger terminal, killing one person and injuring dozens more.

“The Secretary reiterated the commitment of the United States to Kuwait’s security, to ensuring that Iran never acquires a nuclear weapon, and to the restoration of freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz,” Pigott said in a statement.

Pigott also said that Rubio condemned Iran’s “outrageous and unacceptable attacks targeting Kuwait International Airport and other parts of the country” and expressed condolences for those killed and injured in the attack.

“We stand with the Kuwaiti people during this difficult time,” the statement said.
