Kuwait International Airport is seeing heavy congestion after its airspace was closed due to ongoing Iranian strikes, according to reports from the region. The closure has led to flight delays and crowds at the terminal as travelers remain stranded.
The closure is the latest disruption to civil aviation in the Gulf linked to the Iranian campaign. The Zioneer has previously reported on multiple incidents: Kuwait submitted a third protest to ICAO over Iranian attacks on its airport radar in June, and the airport's operations were suspended earlier in the month after a direct strike on a desalination plant. Airspace closures and reopenings have been a recurring pattern as the conflict between Iran and US-led forces continues.
The Iranian strikes have also targeted airports in Jordan and Iran's Bandar Abbas, underscoring the broad regional impact. The situation remains fluid, and further updates on the congestion and reopening timeline are expected.
