Sign InKuwait has officially announced that Iranian strikes targeted National Guard facilities, marking a significant and dangerous escalation in regional hostilities. The attack resulted in several injuries among both military personnel and civilians, according to reports from Reuters, further complicating the regional security landscape. This incident represents a major geographical expansion of the conflict, which had previously been concentrated on Saudi Arabian energy infrastructure over the past 5 days.
