The Kuwaiti government has officially refuted a Wall Street Journal report that alleged the nation participated in military strikes against Iran. In a formal letter addressed to the outlet’s editorial board, Sheikha Al Zain Al Sabah, Kuwait’s ambassador to the United States, labeled the article—which claimed both Kuwaiti and Bahraini warplanes carried out rare retaliatory strikes—as "entirely false." The ambassador emphasized that such inaccurate reporting is dangerous, noting that during periods of regional instability, media outlets have a profound responsibility to verify information to prevent public misinformation regarding international security.

Reaffirming the nation's commitment to peace, Ambassador Al Sabah clarified that Kuwait has never authorized the use of its territory, airspace, or waters for offensive operations against its neighbors. She noted that the country’s foreign policy remains anchored in diplomacy, the preservation of state sovereignty, and the peaceful resolution of conflicts. According to the ambassador, Kuwait maintains that regional security is best achieved through constructive dialogue rather than military escalation, a stance informed by the region's long and difficult history with the costs of war.
