13 hostile ballistic missiles inside Kuwaiti airspace
Kuwaiti Ministry of Defense spokesman Colonel Saud Abdulaziz Al-Atwan said that the armed forces detected and dealt with, today, Wednesday, 13 enemy ballistic missiles inside Kuwaiti airspace, and they were intercepted over a number of residential areas, resulting in some shrapnel falling. The armed forces also monitored and dealt with 17 enemy drones.
While these attacks were widely condemned by several organizations and countries, led by Egypt, which affirmed its rejection and denunciation of these attacks, and stressed its full solidarity with the sisterly State of Kuwait, and also with the Kingdom of Bahrain, which was subjected to missile attacks today as well.
The Iranian attacks, for which the Iranian Revolutionary Guard claimed responsibility, extended to the Kingdom of Bahrain, as the General Command of the Bahrain Defense Force announced that Iran continues its systematic hostile approach through its sinful attacks with missiles and drones targeting civilian objects in the Kingdom of Bahrain. The General Command said that the air defense systems of the Bahrain Defense Force were able to intercept and destroy 3 missiles and a number of drones. It stressed that the deliberate use of missiles and drones to target civilian objects and private property is a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law.
Urgent measures for the State of Kuwait
Within the framework of the measures taken by the State of Kuwait in response to these attacks; The Kuwaiti Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced today, Wednesday, the reduction of members of the Iranian embassy and that two members of the mission were considered undesirable, and gave them 24 hours to leave the country. This was after it summoned the Iranian Chargé d’Affaires to Kuwait and handed him a protest note regarding the Iranian attacks.
Reject Iran’s false accusations
Kuwait rejected the Iranian claims and accusations against the State of Kuwait, and stressed its refusal to use its lands and airspace to attack other countries, describing the Iranian accusations as “false.” The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed in a statement “the State of Kuwait’s categorical rejection of the use of its lands or airspace in any hostile actions against any country,” considering that “the false Iranian allegations are baseless and not based on any evidence.” It considered that “the repetition of these allegations cannot in any way justify the attacks that targeted the lands of the State of Kuwait and its civilian and vital installations.”
What is the significance of the Kuwaiti step… and will it lead to severing relations with Iran?
Commenting on the Iranian attacks on Kuwait and their repercussions, Kuwaiti political analyst Tariq Bou Rosli confirmed to Youm7 that the Revolutionary Guard claimed responsibility for targeting the Ali Al-Salem base in Kuwait and the Fifth Fleet in Bahrain, claiming that it was a response to American strikes that targeted an Iranian oil tanker and Qeshm Island.
He added that the truth is that Kuwait did not attack anyone and did not launch any attacks on Iran from its lands, skies or seas, but it is paying the price. The explanation for this is that the American-Iranian negotiation is taking place on one side and the Revolutionary Guard is working on the other side. The Revolutionary Guard is escalating in the region, and Washington is negotiating with Tehran and confronting its attacks at the same time. This contradiction is exhausting the Gulf states, which are caught between a rock and a hard place. Iran also believes that Kuwait’s neutrality means that it will not respond. This calculation is morally wrong, but unfortunately it is repeated. Likewise, Tehran has turned to more precise and targeted strikes, and is using this as a pressure card in its negotiations with Washington, at the expense of the security of the Gulf states.
He said: The decision to expel the diplomats came due to the continued Iranian attacks with ballistic missiles and drones that targeted Kuwait International Airport today, killing one person and wounding dozens. The message of this is that Kuwaiti neutrality is not weakness, and the country’s sovereignty is a red line. As for severing relations, I do not think so, most likely, as Kuwait believes that open channels are more useful than silent silence, and geographical proximity is a fact that cannot be canceled by a diplomatic decision. But on the other hand, it is escalating in a gradual and calculated manner, and if the Revolutionary Guard continues, the ceiling will certainly rise further. In the end, it must be known that Kuwait is small in size, but big in position, importance and credibility.
In a related context, Kuwaiti political researcher Dahim Al-Qahtani said that the sinful Iranian attack that targeted Kuwait International Airport represents a dangerous and unacceptable shift in the course of Iranian aggression, not only against the State of Kuwait, but also against the entire Gulf Cooperation Council system.
He added: Targeting a secure civilian facility, causing the death of a traveler and wounding dozens of citizens and residents, is a condemnable act that undoubtedly amounts to war crimes. It is known that Kuwait Airport is a purely civilian facility, and does not include any military bases at all, in complete contrast to the lies promoted by the Iranian media machine. The implementation of this treacherous attack by a drone confirms that targeting the airport was a deliberate and intentional act, and not the result of a technical error or a deviation in directing the missiles.
Kuwaiti researcher: Targeting civilians is a barbaric aggressive method
Al-Qahtani adds that Iran’s targeting of vital and civilian facilities during the truce periods only expresses a barbaric, aggressive method that is completely inconsistent with the foundations of modern life and the values of the international community. This attack carries a great treachery to the State of Kuwait, this neighbor that has always extended the hand of peace and has never caused any harm to the Iranian side. As for the false allegations alleging that planes or missiles were launched from Kuwaiti territory to bomb Iran, the State of Kuwait has repeatedly denied these allegations in an official and categorical manner. These allegations have also become a stupid lie that Iran is unable to prove, as evidenced by its inability to provide any documents or radar data to the UN Security Council to support its false claims.
He said: This horrific attack on people in the State of Kuwait is a horrific matter that requires a serious stance and a firm response from all Arab countries, and that Iranian behavior based on targeting civilian facilities in Kuwait, the Kingdom of Bahrain, and other countries is like a malignant cancer that will spread to ravage all Arab countries, unless the Arab nation confronts it with a united stand in solidarity alongside the Gulf countries, to deter this Iranian threat and nip it in its cradle.
Kuwaiti Foreign Ministry: We reserve our full right to take appropriate measures to respond
While the Kuwaiti Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the Iranian attack that occurred today, and indicated damage to vital installations, including diplomatic missions.

She stressed that the security, sovereignty, and safety of the State of Kuwait and the safety of its citizens and residents of its land are a red line that cannot be compromised, stressing that the repetition of these attacks represents an organized aggressive approach, something that the State of Kuwait will not accept or tolerate.
She stressed that the State of Kuwait reserves its full and inherent right to take appropriate measures to respond to these sinful and repeated Iranian attacks, in a manner consistent with international law.
This is the third targeting of Kuwait in less than a week, as the army announced last Monday and Thursday that it had confronted attacks with missiles and hostile drones, the source of which was not mentioned.
On his part; The Kuwaiti Cabinet renewed its condemnation of the Iranian attacks that targeted the country on Monday and Thursday, while reserving the right to take appropriate action to maintain security.
