Kuwait, scarred by 1990 Iraqi invasion, becomes Iran’s softest Gulf target

The article discusses the escalating tensions in Kuwait due to Iranian missile and drone attacks since the start of the US-Israeli conflict with Iran. Kuwait, still recovering from the 1990 Iraqi invasion, has faced over 1,400 attacks, making it the second-most targeted nation after the UAE. These attacks include targeting US military bases, airports, and critical infrastructure like power plants and desalination facilities. Despite historical ties with Iran, Kuwait has taken a less confrontational approach compared to neighboring countries like Bahrain and the UAE. Local residents express fear and concern, especially as the situation worsens with renewed attacks following a ceasefire breakdown.
