Kuwaiti response to Iranian regional aggression

Overview

Following regional tensions and attacks in the Middle East, Kuwait has taken administrative and educational steps regarding its relationship with Iran.

In August 2026, the Kuwaiti Ministry of Education revoked the license of an Iranian-run private school and ordered its closure. Officials cited the need to comply with private education laws and safeguard the public interest, noting that similar closures of Iranian-linked institutions have occurred across the Gulf.

By September 2026, the Ministry of Education updated the tenth-grade history curriculum to document Iranian missile and drone attacks that occurred earlier in the year. The new textbooks describe these events as a “heinous Iranian aggression” that violated Kuwaiti sovereignty by targeting infrastructure such as water desalination plants, power facilities, and the international airport. The curriculum emphasizes Kuwait’s position of neutrality in the conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran, while highlighting the leadership's commitment to regional stability and international law.
