US Embassy in Kuwait orders ‘temporary halt’ on visits to military bases

The US Embassy in Kuwait says it has ordered a “temporary halt” to its personnel from going to multiple military bases in the small Gulf Arab country amid heightened tensions with Iran over a crackdown on nationwide protests there.

It says that it is “a temporary halt to movement into facilities at Camp Arifjan, Camp Buehring, Ali Al Salem Air Base and Camp Patriot.”

Kuwait is home to US Army Central, the service’s Mideast command.
