Faisal bin Farhan, Grossi Discuss Nuclear Non-proliferation

Iranian attacks against Gulf states have escalated significantly, with a total of approximately 7,028 missiles and drones launched since February through early June 2026. Kuwait has emerged as a particularly frequent target in recent weeks, experiencing 1,194 attacks.

These assaults persist despite a ceasefire between Iran and the United States, brokered by Pakistan, which has been in effect since April. The data reveals a growing reliance on high-volume, low-cost drone attacks by Tehran, with over 5,000 drones deployed compared to more than 1,700 missiles.

The United Arab Emirates has recorded the highest number of attacks at 2,846, followed by Saudi Arabia with 1,234. Kuwait ranks third, with Qatar fourth (737), Bahrain fifth (700), and Oman sixth (26).

Kuwait's Foreign Ministry condemned the "sinful and repeated Iranian attacks" as a "dangerous escalation" and a direct assault on its security and stability, violating international law. The continued strikes raise serious concerns about regional stability and jeopardize efforts to consolidate the ceasefire.
