Kuwait Condemns Iranian Attacks, Asserts Right to Self-Defense

Kuwait has strongly condemned repeated Iranian attacks on its territory, including a dawn assault, characterizing them as violations of sovereignty and direct threats to national security, stability, and the safety of citizens and residents.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the attacks constitute a serious breach of international law, the UN Charter, and Security Council Resolution 2817. The ministry emphasized that continued attacks reflect a hostile approach and represent dangerous escalation threatening regional security and stability while undermining diplomatic efforts aimed at de-escalation and reducing tensions.

In response, Kuwait stressed that it reserves its full right to take all necessary measures to protect its sovereignty, security, territory, and vital facilities against any aggression or threat. The ministry grounded Kuwait’s position in its inherent right to self-defense under Article 51 of the UN Charter and international law.

What This Means for Expats: These developments underscore the importance of staying informed about regional security matters and following official guidance from your embassy or employer regarding safety protocols and any travel advisories that may be issued.
