Iraqi armed group warns US against using Kuwait for Iran attack An Iraqi armed group warned the United States against using Kuwaiti territory to launch a ground invasion of Iran, saying such a move would sharply escalate the conflict. In a post on X, Kata’ib Sayyid al-Shuhada commander Abo Alaa Al Walae said any such action would turn a “limited battle to all-out war. ” He warned that using Kuwait as a staging ground would be seen as a “breach of regional security boundaries” and could prompt retaliation from Iran’s allies.
