Kuwait’s Ambassador to the United States, Sheikha Zain Al-Sabah

KUWAIT CITY, Jul 25: Kuwait has rejected a Wall Street Journal report alleging that it took part in military operations against Iran, calling the claims “entirely false.”

Kuwait’s Ambassador to the United States, Sheikha Zain Al-Sabah, sent a formal letter to the newspaper’s editorial board in response to the July 24 report titled “Bahrain, Kuwait Warplanes Struck Iran in Rare Gulf Retaliation.”

The ambassador said Kuwait has not participated in any military operations against Iran and has not allowed the use of its territory, airspace or territorial waters to launch offensive operations against any neighboring country.

She reaffirmed Kuwait’s position of supporting international law, respect for sovereignty, good neighborly relations and resolving disputes through dialogue and diplomacy.

The ambassador urged The Wall Street Journal to correct the report, stressing that accurate reporting is essential for regional stability amid ongoing tensions.
