🇸🇦🇰🇼🇮🇶⚡- In a highly unconventional move, the Saudi outlet Hureya broadcast a segment featuring one of the Kingdom’s most prominent journalists, Dawood al‑Sharyan, in which he claimed to have played a role in shaping Kuwait’s media campaign during the First Gulf War.

Al‑Sharyan acknowledged that he had “engaged in false propaganda against Iraq,” elaborating that he distributed leaflets alleging instances of rape against Kuwaiti women, claims he now concedes were entirely fabricated.

Both the publication of this segment and the remarks themselves are highly unusual, particularly given that Riyadh was among the principal advocates for Kuwait’s defence against Saddam Hussein. The unusual episode appears to underscore a broader geopolitical shift, Kuwait—once firmly within Riyadh's sphere of influence—is increasingly gravitating towards that of Abu Dhabi.
