ALBAWABA - The Wall Street Journal posted a report claiming that Bahrain and Kuwait had participated in bombing Iran, taking a side next to the United States, amid continued escalation between Tehran and Washington.
However, Kuwait's Ambassador to the United States, Al-Zain Al-Sabah, sent an official letter to the editorial board of The Wall Street Journal in response to a report containing what she described as completely false allegations regarding Kuwait's participation in military operations against Iran, according to the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA).
In her letter, the ambassador stated that the report, published on Friday, which claimed that Bahraini and Kuwaiti fighter jets had struck Iranian targets, was entirely baseless.
She emphasized that "the allegations contained therein are completely false," stressing that Kuwait has not participated in any military operations against Iran, nor has it permitted the use of its territory, airspace, or territorial waters for any offensive operations against any neighboring country.
She explained that "the State of Kuwait, by virtue of its location in a region that has borne the heavy human and economic costs of conflicts for decades, believes that regional security is not achieved through escalation, but rather through de-escalation, restraint, and engagement in serious and sustained diplomatic dialogue, principles that continue to form the basis of the State of Kuwait’s foreign policy."
The ambassador further asked the American newspaper to correct the report to accurately reflect Kuwait’s position and policies, stressing that accuracy in reporting, especially in light of regional tensions, is not merely a journalistic responsibility, but a necessity for maintaining regional stability.
