Iraqi armed group warns US against using Kuwait for Iran attack

Iraqi armed group warns US against using Kuwait for Iran attack An Iraqi armed group warned the United States against using Kuwaiti territory to launch a ground invasion of Iran, saying such a move would sharply escalate the conflict. In a post on X, Kata’ib Sayyid al-Shuhada commander Abo Alaa Al Walae said any such action would turn a “limited battle to all-out war.” He warned that using Kuwait as a staging ground would be seen as a “breach of regional security boundaries” and could prompt retaliation from Iran’s allies. Al Walae said the response would follow a “principle of reciprocity,” adding that similar action could be taken in response to Israel’s ground operations in Lebanon. “An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, and the one who starts is the most unjust,” he wrote. The statement came amid growing speculation over a potential US land operation.
