Story summary

On November 10, 2026, the six members of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) agreed to establish a military command post in Kuwait and station forces there, according to Secretary-General Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi. The decision was made after defence ministers from Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates met in Manama. This new post will be part of the GCC’s Unified Military Command, which was established in 2013 for joint military operations planning, with its main headquarters located in Riyadh since 2021. The exact number of troops to be stationed or their specific duties were not disclosed by the council. Kuwait's strategic location at the northern end of the Gulf, bordering Iraq and Saudi Arabia while facing Iran across the water, makes it a critical site for this new command post.
