Kuwait has faced repeated Iranian missile and drone strikes targeting U.S. military sites since the U.S.-Israel-Iran conflict escalated in February 2026, with the most recent attacks reported on November 10 as Kuwaiti air defenses intercepted incoming threats and sirens sounded in populated areas. These exchanges follow earlier incidents damaging civilian infrastructure such as power and desalination plants. Diplomatic friction intensified in late October when Kuwait summoned Iran’s ambassador to protest statements rejecting a Kuwaiti court’s death sentences against an Iranian national and others convicted of espionage and an alleged assassination plot involving Hezbollah. Foreign ministers from both countries held talks on November 6 to discuss de-escalation amid broader regional tensions. No ground invasion or large-scale territorial operation has occurred, though reports note Iranian preparations for potential future options including infiltration attempts that Kuwaiti forces have intercepted.
