Kuwait alleges that Iran attacked an island hosting a China-funded port before Trump’s Beijing trip
Kuwait said four men confessed to an IRGC-backed sea incursion that wounded a serviceman and left two suspects at large.
- On Tuesday, Kuwait accused Iran of sending six Revolutionary Guard members to infiltrate Bubiyan Island on May 1, leaving one security official wounded and resulting in four detentions.

- The accusation surfaces as U.S. President Donald Trump travels to Beijing to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping this week; Beijing faces energy supply risks from regional instability as a major buyer of Iranian crude.
- Meanwhile, prosecutors in Bahrain announced Tuesday that two dozen individuals received prison sentences for espionage and conspiring with the Revolutionary Guard, targeting alleged Iran-linked cells.
- U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee noted that Israel deployed Iron Dome batteries to the United Arab Emirates and stated he was "very optimistic" that additional nations will soon join the Abraham Accords.
