Why is Kuwait important?
Kuwait is a small, oil-rich nation in the Middle East, strategically located at the top of the Persian Gulf. Its vast oil reserves make it a significant player in global energy markets. Its proximity to Iraq and Iran, and its alliance with the US, often place it at the centre of regional tensions, as seen with these drone attacks.
