Kuwait Intercepts Iranian Drones Amid Escalating US-Saudi-Iran Conflict

Kuwait Intercepts Iranian Drones Amid Escalating US-Saudi-Iran Conflict

Kuwaiti forces said they shot down several Iranian drones that targeted the north of the country on July 27, as U. S. officials warned of possible escalation in the Middle East. The latest strikes follow a series of escalations that began in early July when Saudi defense officials reported intercepting drones launched from Iraq and blamed Iranian-backed militias. The United States and Saudi Arabia then carried out coordinated airstrikes against militia logistics sites in eastern Iraq, prompting Iran to launch missile and drone attacks on U.

S. bases in Jordan and Kuwait, including a strike that damaged a building in northern Kuwait. Subsequent Iranian missile attacks on Jordanian facilities and a new wave of U. S. strikes on Iranian targets on July 29 led the White House to signal that further action could be ordered, while a 14-nation maritime defense pact was formed by Saudi Arabia amid the widening conflict.
