Kuwaitis Express Concerns Over US Troop Presence Amid Iran Conflict
Kuwaitis are increasingly concerned about the presence of US troops in their country amid the ongoing US-Iran conflict. While the US military presence has historically been seen as a security guarantee since the 1991 liberation from Iraq, some Kuwaitis worry it now makes their state a target for Iranian attacks, including strikes on infrastructure and potential ground incursions. Despite these fears, many remain reluctant to envision Kuwait without American protection, reflecting a complex security dilemma amid regional tensions.
