A U.S. embassy issued a security alert on Wednesday after American interests in Kuwait received a threat from a pro-Iranian group, coming amid heightened tensions in the Middle East amid the Israel–Hamas conflict.
“The embassy is aware of threats made on social media by Alwiyat al-Waad al-Haq, a militia group in Iraq, against U.S. military bases in Kuwait. As a result, the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait is limiting its activity on U.S. military bases to essential and official events only. U.S. citizens are advised to remain alert,” said a bulletin from the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait, a small country located between Iraq and Saudi Arabia that also shares a Persian Gulf maritime border with Iran.
