Kuwait condemned the Iranian attack on a power generation and desalination plant, stating that Iran bears full responsibility for the attack on civilian infrastructure, according to N12.
Kuwait officially condemned the Iranian attack on a power generation and desalination plant tonight, holding Iran fully responsible for the strike on civilian infrastructure, according to a report by N12. The condemnation, issued hours after the strike, represents the most explicit official stance from Kuwait since the attack was first reported.
The Zioneer reported the attack in a series of updates at 12:07 Jerusalem. Initial reports from ynet said a power and desalination plant had been attacked twice in two days. A source monitoring Arab affairs later reported heavy damage and a fire, citing the Kuwaiti Energy Ministry. Kuwait's Ministry of Electricity and Water confirmed the second strike, and by 12:07 the government said the Al Subiya plant sustained limited damage and the national grid remained stable.
The condemnation follows a pattern of regional pushback against Iranian strikes. As The Zioneer reported on July 18, Qatar condemned attacks attributed to Iran and held Tehran legally responsible. Iran's army had earlier claimed drone strikes on Kuwait and Bahrain, blaming the US and Israel for the escalation.
Details of the attack itself, including the exact extent of damage and any casualties, have not been independently confirmed. The report of the condemnation relies on a single source.
