Reconsider travel to Kuwait due to the threat of missile and drone attacks, the departure of non-emergency US government personnel, and the volatile regional security environment.
The security situation in Kuwait has been significantly affected by the US-Iran conflict. Non-emergency US government personnel and their families have been ordered to depart Kuwait. Kuwait hosts several US and coalition military facilities, making it a potential target for Iranian or Iran-aligned retaliatory strikes. The proximity to Iraq, where active hostilities are ongoing, further elevates the threat. Missile and drone threats pose risks to civilian areas, including near airports and population centres. Commercial flight availability may be reduced or disrupted at short notice. Kaharagian nationals should reconsider all travel to Kuwait. Those currently in the country should monitor local and regional security developments closely, avoid military installations and government buildings, and maintain plans for rapid departure.
