Kuwait's Foreign Affairs Ministry summoned Iran's Chargé d'Affaires on June 3, 2026, following missile strikes by Iran on Kuwait's airport that damaged vital facilities and resulted in one death and 63 injuries. In response, Kuwait declared two members of Iran's diplomatic mission persona non grata, demanding their departure within 24 hours. Kuwait's Deputy Foreign Minister, Hamad Suleiman Al-Mashaan, strongly condemned the Iranian attacks and rejected Iran's claims that Kuwait and Bahrain were complicit in US military operations against Iran. He characterized these allegations as baseless and insisted they could not justify the missile strikes on Kuwaiti territory. The tensions have escalated further as the US Central Command recently targeted an empty oil tanker that was reportedly heading to Iran, raising concerns about regional stability and security.
