Iran–US-Israel War Latest LIVE Updates: Kuwait Rejects Iran Claims On Use Of Its Territory For Attacks

Saudi Arabia on Wednesday strongly condemned Iran over reported drone and missile attacks on Bahrain and Kuwait, including a strike on Kuwait International Airport that killed one person and injured several others. In a statement posted on X, the Saudi Foreign Ministry called the actions as “flagrant Iranian aggression” and a “blatant violation” of the sovereignty of both countries. 

It also condemned the targeting of “vital facilities” in Kuwait, saying the attacks undermine regional stability and security.

Kuwaiti civil aviation authorities said that the country’s main airport has partially resumed operations after sustaining damage in an Iranian attack. Kuwait Airways restarted flights from an alternative terminal, as the affected terminal remains out of service. Authorities said no other airlines would be operating flights at this time.

Kuwait stated Wednesday that the country had halted all commercial air travel following an attack by an Iranian drone on its airport that injured several people. According to the spokesperson of Kuwait’s defence ministry, Brig Gen Saud Abdulaziz Al-Otaibi, “several hostile drones” carried out attacks against Kuwait International Airport’s passenger terminal and seriously damaged it and injuring “several individuals”. These drone attacks were preceded by the launching of missile attacks between Iran and the United States late Tuesday with the US military stating it conducted a strike on an Iranian military base as retaliation to Iranian missile attacks against Kuwait...

After the Iranian attack, “a number of Kuwait airport’s facilities were severely damaged, and human injuries were also reported,” the civil aviation authority of the country was reported to say, according to Reuters.

The interior ministry of Bahrain announced that citizens of the country were not allowed to travel to Iran and Iraq for security reasons, at least for now. Since the beginning of the US-Israeli fight against Iran, Iran and its allies in Iraq have attacked many Gulf states, such as Bahrain.
