The demise of Kuwait's 86-year-old Emir, Sheikh Nawaf Al Ahmad Al Sabah, signals the end of his low-key, three-year reign focused on resolving internal political strife.
Kuwait state television interrupted regular programming with Quranic verses to announce the sombre news.
The cause of Sheikh Nawaf's death remains undisclosed.
Following his passing, Sheikh Meshal al-Ahmad al-Jaber Al-Sabah is named as the new emir, according to Kuwait's cabinet.
The late emir's health had been a matter of concern since late November when he was rushed to the hospital.
Sheikh Nawaf's leadership, marked by domestic challenges and diplomatic efforts, now transitions to Sheikh Meshaal amid regional and global attention.
Iran has placed its army on high alert and issued stark warnings to neighboring countries—including Iraq, Kuwait, UAE, Qatar, Turkey, and Bahrain—not to support any potential U.S. military action. According to Reuters, Tehran stated that allowing American forces to use their airspace or territory will be seen as an act of war and met with severe consequences. As tensions with Washington escalate and indirect talks stall, the Middle East teeters on the edge of a broader conflict. Is the region heading toward an all-out war?

A new NCRI survey reveals disturbing levels of support for political violence in the U.S., with 55% of left-leaning Americans saying Trump’s assassination could be justified. Elon Musk isn’t far behind, as nearly half express similar sentiments toward him. Over 57% even support attacking Tesla dealerships. NCRI warns of a rising “assassination culture” fueled by far-left ideology. Meanwhile, support grows online for Luigi Mangione, a Murder suspect now seen by some as a vigilante folk hero.
