Kuwait condemns drone attacks, warns of risks to Iran ceasefire
Kuwait has condemned what it described as “heinous” drone attacks targeting vital facilities, warning that such incidents risk undermining fragile regional stability and recent diplomatic efforts between Iran and the United States.
In a statement, Kuwait’s foreign ministry said the attacks constituted a “flagrant violation” of its sovereignty and airspace, as well as breaches of international law, humanitarian law, and the United Nations Charter. The ministry stressed that continued strikes pose a direct challenge to global norms and regional security frameworks.
Kuwaiti officials warned that ongoing attacks against Gulf states risk derailing recent ceasefire understandings between Washington and Tehran, which had raised cautious hopes for de-escalation. They said such actions could weaken both regional and international diplomatic efforts aimed at containing conflict.
Iran has denied involvement in the reported attacks, with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps stating it would openly acknowledge any military operations it conducts. The denial comes amid heightened scrutiny over Iran’s regional role and its network of allied armed groups.
Despite the ceasefire, reports from multiple Iranian cities including Tehran, Tabriz, Karaj, and Bandar Abbas indicated air defence activity, explosions, and fighter jet movements. Iranian authorities said some of the activity was linked to countering “enemy reconnaissance drones,” particularly in the northwest.
The developments highlight the fragility of the current pause in hostilities, with tensions still simmering beneath the surface. Analysts say sporadic incidents and conflicting narratives could quickly escalate into broader confrontation if not carefully managed.
Gulf states, many of which host critical energy infrastructure and shipping routes, remain particularly sensitive to any security threats. Countries across the region have repeatedly called for restraint, warning that further escalation could disrupt global oil markets and maritime security.
The situation also comes as indirect talks and diplomatic contacts between Iran and Western powers continue in the background, aimed at preventing a wider war. However, continued incidents such as alleged drone strikes and military activity risk complicating negotiations and deepening mistrust among regional actors.
