Iran-backed Militia's Threats to UAE and Kuwait Escalate Amid Israel-Hamas Conflict

An Iran-backed militia, Alwiyat al-Waad al-Haq, has threatened to target American bases in Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates in response to the ongoing Israel-Hamas war. The militia, believed to be linked to the Iraqi Kataib Hezbollah, issued the threat in a statement on social media. Iran-backed militias across the region have been increasing their threats against Israel and the US, with recent rocket and drone attacks targeting US forces in Syria and Iraq. Additionally, the US has confirmed that it shot down Houthi missiles over the Red Sea, and Saudi Arabia reportedly shot down another missile to protect its airspace.
