🚨BREAKING: U.S EMBASSY IN KUWAIT ALERT
The embassy is aware of threats made on social media by Alwiyat al-Waad al-Haq, a militia group in Iraq, against U.S. military bases in Kuwait.
As a result, the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait is limiting its activity on U.S. military bases to essential and official events only. U.S. citizens are advised to remain alert.
IMPORTANT: U.S KUWAIT ALERT DETAILS
Kuwait is a VERY CLOSE U.S ALLY, so such an alert in the country is "very rare."
MORE DETAILS:
-
Iranian-backed Iraqi militia Alwiya Waad al Haq (the Righteous Promise Brigades) threatened to attack US forces in Kuwait and the UAE on October 24.
-
Alwiya Waad al Haq previously claimed drone attacks targeting the Saudi royal palace in January 2021 and ”vital facilities” in Abu Dhabi, UAE in February 2022.
-
CTP-ISW previously assessed that this group was likely a front for Kataib Hezbollah.
-
Pro-Iran Telegram channels affiliated with Iraqi proxy groups echoed the group’s threat to attack US forces in Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates.
-
This threat and its amplification in pro-Iran channels suggest that Iranian-backed Iraqi militias are willing to escalate regionally beyond Iraq and Syria.
