KUWAIT CITY, June 25 — The United States Embassy in Kuwait resumed operations yesterday during a visit by US State Secretary Marco Rubio, months after services were suspended in March by Iranian attacks.
The embassy here will immediately resume emergency services for Americans while other services will be phased in, a State Department spokesperson said.
The State Department shut down embassy operations in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia in March after Iranian drones fired at the missions following US-Israel strikes on Iran.
Rubio attended a flag-raising ceremony at the embassy yesterday during his trip to Kuwait for talks with allies on ending the war in Iran.
“The American flag: a symbol of liberty, unity, and freedom now flies proudly once again over Kuwait City. Kuwait is an indispensable partner for regional security and stability,” he said in a social media post after the ceremony.
