US State Department approves possible sale of counter-drone platforms to Kuwait
The US State Department approved a $1.98 billion arms sale to Kuwait including counter-drone technology from Anduril.
The sale aims to support US foreign policy and national security by enhancing the security of Kuwait, a major non-NATO ally important for Middle East stability.
Kuwaiti officials condemned Iranian aggression after a drone strike on its international airport caused one death and 63 injuries, though Tehran denied involvement and blamed an error in US Patriot missile systems.
The attacks occurred despite a ceasefire established on April 8 that paused the ongoing war triggered by the US-Israeli bombing of Iran, with only sporadic fire exchanges since.
