Kuwait Slams Iran Over Deadly Airport Strike, Reserves Right to Respond

KUWAIT CITY, Jun 3: Kuwait's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has strongly condemned what it described as the continued and brutal Iranian attacks using ballistic missiles and drones, including the latest strikes carried out at dawn on Wednesday that targeted civilian and vital facilities across the country.

In a statement, the ministry said the attacks once again struck key civilian infrastructure, including Kuwait International Airport, resulting in the death of one person, injuries to several others, and damage to vital facilities, including diplomatic missions.

The ministry expressed Kuwait's “strongest condemnation and denunciation” of the attacks, accusing Iran of carrying out overt acts of aggression that contribute to further escalation, increase regional tensions, and threaten security and stability across the Gulf region.

Kuwait said the attacks constitute a clear violation of international law, the United Nations Charter, and Security Council Resolution 2817 of 2026. It stressed that the country's sovereignty, security, and the safety of its citizens and residents are a “red line that cannot be crossed.”

The statement further warned that the repeated attacks reflect what it described as an organized pattern of aggression that Kuwait “will neither accept nor tolerate.”

The Foreign Ministry also affirmed that Kuwait reserves its full and inherent right under international law to take appropriate measures in response to what it called repeated Iranian aggressions, underscoring the country's determination to protect its national interests and maintain security and stability.
