Kuwait Joins "Dark-Mode" Tanker Traffic Through Hormuz
By Tsvetana Paraskova of OilPrice.com
Kuwait appears to have joined a growing bunch of Middle Eastern oil and gas producers that have moved to ship energy cargoes in dark mode through the Strait of Hormuz.
The liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) carrier Gas Umm Al Rowaisat, which is owned by the national Kuwait Petroleum Corporation, has passed through the Strait in recent days, then transferred the cargo onto another ship which is currently en route to an Indian port, vessel-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg showed on Thursday.
The Gas Umm Al Rowaisat loaded LPG in May in the Gulf, and then switched off its AIS positioning, before reappearing close to the Indian coast this weekend, according to the data.
This is the latest instance of a tanker going dark as it moves through the Strait of Hormuz. The UAE, Iraq, and other Gulf producers have increased shipments of oil, LNG, and LPG on tankers in dark mode in recent weeks.

Kuwait Turns To Anduril For $2 Billion Counter-Drone Shield After Horrifying Airport Attack
The moment an Iranian Shahed-136 drone struck Kuwait International Airport last week appears to have been a major wake-up call for Kuwaiti officials. The incident likely crystallized a troubling reality: legacy air-defense systems are not enough to counter the Shahed drone threat spreading across the Gulf, and Kuwait needs to supercharge the deployment of layered counter-UAS systems with both electronic and kinetic defeat capabilities.
Kuwaiti officials release video showing the Iranian attack on Kuwait International Airport's Terminal 1, which killed 1 person and injured 63 others.

Via Middle East Eye
Satellite imagery appears to show damage to a US air base in Kuwait following Iranian strikes on Wednesday.
New imagery of the site released by Soar Atlas seems to show a destroyed shelter at the US Ali Al Salem Air Base, despite US Central Command (CENTCOM) insisting that all the missiles and drones targeting the site were "defeated".

Trump Downplays Iran's Attacks Targeting US Bases In Kuwait & Bahrain: 'They Were Slightly Provoked'
Authored by Dave DeCamp via AntiWar.com,
President Trump on Wednesday downplayed Iranian attacks that targeted US bases in Kuwait and Bahrain, saying they may have been "slightly provoked" since the US launched strikes against Iran beforehand.
"There's a reason for everything, and we hit them pretty hard last night," the president told reporters in the Oval Office. "Some people would say they were slightly provoked because we took a strong action for a different reason, so they were reciprocating."

Iran launched the missile and drone attacks after the US bombed a commercial ship attempting to reach Iran and launched strikes on Iran's Qeshm island.
During the Iranian attack on Kuwait, a passenger terminal at Kuwait's international airport was hit, and at least one person was killed, and more than 60 were injured. Local officials said...
