Iran has denied responsibility for the recent missile and drone strike on Kuwait International Airport, attributing the damage to a malfunction of the US-made Patriot missile defense system. The attack, which resulted in at least one death and dozens of injuries, has drawn strong condemnation from Kuwait, which described it as a violation of its sovereignty. The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) stated that their operation targeted military sites, not civilian infrastructure. However, the US Central Command (Centcom) rejected this explanation, asserting that Iran executed a deliberate attack on civilian facilities, including the airport. Centcom reported that several Iranian missiles failed to hit their targets or broke apart mid-flight. In response to the attack, Kuwait expelled two Iranian diplomats and reserved the right to retaliate. This incident represents a significant escalation in regional tensions, occurring after US forces targeted an Iranian-linked tanker and conducted operations against Iranian military sites. The ongoing exchange of accusations between the US and Iran raises concerns about a potential broader conflict in the region.
