Kuwait’s Deputy Prime Minister Sheikh Fahad Yusuf Saud Al-Sabah said Monday that his country’s decision to stay out of the regional conflict represents “deep strategic wisdom on the part of our political leadership.” He added that the move “establishes a fence protecting the security and stability of the state, and places the future of coming generations at the top of its priorities.”
According to Al-Sabah, if Kuwait abandons its neutrality and begins responding to attacks, the Gulf state will pay a heavy price on humanitarian, economic and geopolitical fronts. “War is not measured only by the material numbers of losses, but by generations whose hopes were erased and dreams that were cut down before they were realized,” he said.
Kuwait has become a preferred target for attacks by the ayatollah regime over the past month. Just three days ago, Kuwait’s Defense Ministry reported that a drone strike hit the Al-Abdali border crossing with Iraq, causing damage but no casualties. With numerous American bases in Kuwait, it appears the Iranian attacks won’t stop anytime soon.
