The US Embassy in Kuwait has resumed operations that were suspended following attacks in March by Iran, a State Department spokesperson said on Wednesday.

The embassy will immediately resume emergency services for American citizens while other services will be phased in, the spokesperson said, Reuters reported.

The State Department shut down embassy operations in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia in March after Iranian drones fired at the missions following US-Israeli strikes on Iran.
