Kuwait Closes Airspace as Iran Strikes Gulf States in US Retaliation

✈️ KUWAIT — Iran's retaliation is landing in Gulf airspace, not just Gulf waters. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Kuwait airspace closure means Iran's strike wave is broad enough to ground civilian aviation — a threshold above targeted military signaling. Kuwait hosts Camp Arifjan and Ali Al Salem Air Base. Full airspace closure forces Bahrain, Qatar, and UAE to reassess exposure. Gulf states that stayed quiet now face a direct operational choice: shelter US forces or declare neutrality.
