Kuwait Prepares for Escalation Amid Rising Tensions

GCC Secretary-General Jasem al-Budaiwi revealed that a staggering 85 percent of retaliatory strikes from Iran have been directed at the Gulf. To date, the region has borne the brunt of over 6,000 ballistic missile and drone attacks. Consequently, residents in the area are on high alert, with concerns reaching a fever pitch.

A recent incident in Abu Dhabi highlighted the escalating situation, as debris from an intercepted projectile injured one person. In the past few hours, alarm systems have been triggered in Kuwait and the UAE. Yesterday’s events were particularly distressing for Kuwaiti citizens, as two critical power and water desalination plants came under attack. The Azzour plant, one of the largest in the Middle East, was severely impacted, demonstrating the Iranians’ capability to target and destroy civilian infrastructure in the Gulf.

Historically, whenever the US escalates, Iran responds with force. Kuwaiti authorities are now taking proactive measures to prepare for a potential escalation, as evidenced by the deployment of massive power generators near key electricity distribution centres.
