Kuwait International Airport was struck by drones in a deadly attack attributed by Kuwait and the United States to Iran, damaging Terminal 1 and briefly halting flights. Operations are now resuming, but the larger question is whether Kuwait can remain a reliable aviation gateway if civilian airport infrastructure keeps becoming a target.

Iran has denied responsibility and claimed that the damage was caused by a failed U.S. interceptor missile, but U.S. Central Command rejected that account, calling the strike a deliberate Iranian drone attack. Kuwait has responded by expelling two Iranian diplomats. Earlier, Iran had said that the airport attack was justified because U.S. forces were using it as a launch site for attacks against the Islamic Republic.
