Kuwait is home to around 14,000 US troops, but has emerged as particularly vulnerable to attacks from Iran and its Iraqi partners
Kuwait is negotiating an expanded defence agreement with Pakistan in exchange for energy cooperation and investment with the South Asian country, according to a Reuters report.
A Pakistani official told Reuters that Kuwait wanted Islamabad to deploy “thousands of Pakistani troops on the ground, fighter jets, drones, an air defence system, and other defence-related facilities”.
The talks, while at an early stage, underscore how the regional security landscape is being upended by the US-Israeli war on Iran.
