Iran has targeted Kuwait in the clash with America amid ceasefire. In the last 72 hours, Iran has carried out two major attacks on Kuwait. Kuwait Army says that Iran is attacking through drones and missiles. Iran says that the American base in Kuwait is being attacked to take revenge. Till now, Iran has been attacking UAE the most to take revenge from America.
financial Times According to a report, during the Iran war, Tehran had carried out about 2400 attacks on UAE. However, currently Iran is attacking only Kuwaiti targets. In such a situation, the question is arising that why is Iran targeting Kuwait instead of UAE?
Why is Kuwait on Iran’s radar?
1. Kuwait is situated on one side of the Persian Gulf. It is in the neighborhood of Iran, which is an ally of America. America has many big bases here. Prominent among them are Camp Arifijan, Camp Buhiring and Al Salem Airbase. According to the report of The Hill, 13 thousand American soldiers are deployed in Kuwait.
2. Kuwait is diplomatically much weaker than the UAE. In mid-May, Iran attempted to capture an island in Kuwait. However, Tehran could not achieve success.
3. UAE is capable of attacking Iran. If Iran attacks UAE instead of America, Abu Dhabi can retaliate. This may accelerate the Gulf War. Iran is in no-risk mode amid talks.
America attacked Iran
On the other hand, America’s attack on Iran continues. First America targeted Iranian tankers. After this, America attacked an island in Iran on Sunday. Centcom says it was a military base.
America has attacked Iran at a time when talks are going on between the two countries regarding an agreement. US President Donald Trump has personally sent a new proposal to Iran for an agreement.
