The textbook details attacks it attributes to Iran and Iranian-backed groups, carried out using missiles and drones against vital and government facilities as well as residential areas.

The sites listed include power generation and water desalination plants, Kuwait International Airport, the Public Institution for Social Security building, the Ministries Complex and several residential areas.

On June 3, Iranian strikes hit Kuwait International Airport, killing one Indian traveller and injuring at least 63 people, including civilians, airport staff and travellers, according to Kuwait’s Ministry of Health. The textbook also features an image of the damage caused at the airport following the Iranian shelling.

Iranian strikes have also targeted Kuwait’s critical water and energy infrastructure. On July 17, an Iranian attack damaged a power generation and water desalination station, causing a fire and disrupting a number of electricity generation units, Kuwait’s Ministry of Electricity, Water and Renewable Energy said.

The section describes the attacks as violations of Kuwait’s sovereignty and security, saying they prompted state institutions to raise their level of readiness.

The textbook highlights Kuwait’s rejection of the attacks and its right to defend its territory while continuing diplomatic efforts to safeguard regional security and stability.

It also highlights the leadership of Kuwait’s Emir, Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, in directing state institutions, strengthening their preparedness and reaffirming Kuwait’s position that it was not a party to the conflict.

The section also highlights Kuwait’s resilience and national unity in the face of the attacks.

The textbook also details the Emir’s communications with brotherly and friendly countries, as well as international organisations, during the crisis.

These efforts were aimed at reaffirming Kuwait’s position on respecting the sovereignty of states, upholding international law and maintaining regional security and stability.
