Kuwait temporarily shut its airspace and diverted several flights after Iran launched missile and drone attacks targeting US military bases in the Gulf amid escalating tensions with Washington. The precautionary closure was ordered by Kuwait's civil aviation authorities to ensure the safety of passengers and aviation operations as air defense systems responded to potential threats. Several commercial flights were rerouted to neighboring countries before air traffic gradually resumed once officials determined the immediate danger had passed. The incident highlights the growing regional impact of the US-Iran confrontation, with concerns rising over aviation safety, regional security, and the risk of a broader Middle East conflict.
