Kuwait has condemned Iran for an attack on a power generation and water desalination facility, describing the strike as a direct assault on vital civilian infrastructure. In a statement released Sunday, Kuwait’s Foreign Ministry characterized the repeated targeting of civilian facilities as a dangerous escalation that violates international law, the UN Charter, and UN Security Council Resolution 2817.
The ministry asserted that Iran bears full legal and moral responsibility for the attack and its repercussions. The statement followed an incident where Iranian forces allegedly targeted Kuwaiti infrastructure, an act that has drawn strong international criticism. The attack occurred on July 18, 2026.
Kuwaiti Prime Minister Sheikh Ahmad Abdullah Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah visited a man injured in the attack at a hospital in Kuwait City on July 19, 2026.
Smoke was seen rising from the site of the alleged Iranian strike in the town of Mangaf, Kuwait, on July 18, 2026.
