The United States on Thursday approved military sales worth $16.46 billion to the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait, two Gulf nations heavily impacted by the ongoing Iran conflict.The move comes after Iran retaliated against a large-scale US-Israeli air campaign launched late last month, firing missiles and drones that caused casualties and extensive damage across the Gulf region.
