Kuwait's Foreign Ministry issued a strong warning, asserting the nation's right to retaliate against the Iranian attacks. The ministry condemned the assaults, particularly those occurring earlier in the day, labeling them a direct threat to the region's security and stability.

Bahrain's Foreign Ministry also reacted sharply, denouncing Iran's actions as a clear violation of the sovereignty of both Bahrain and Kuwait. The ministry articulated a strong stance, stating, "Security is not built with missiles and drones, and stability is not maintained by laying mines."

Kuwait reserves the right to respond to Iran's attacks against the country.

These statements follow claims by Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) that they targeted U.S. bases in the region with missiles after an alleged attack by the U.S. military on Sirik and Qeshm Island. The Kuwaiti army reported that its air defense systems were activated due to missile and drone attacks targeting the country, while Bahrain's Interior Ministry announced that sirens were heard across the nation.
