KUWAIT, May 9 (Reuters) - Iran's neighbour Kuwait said on Wednesday it had prepared emergency food stocks in case a war breaks out in the Gulf amid tension between Washington and Tehran over Tehran's nuclear programme.
Kuwait, which was a launch pad for the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, said last
month it would take "precautionary measures" amid concern of prospects of war between Iran and the West.
State news agency KUNA quoted Trade and Industry Minister Falah al-Hajeri as saying Kuwait had secured necessary food stocks to supply the population in case of a war.
"The ministry has prepared a strategic stock of food to be used in case of a war in the Gulf region as a result of the Iranian nuclear file," he said after the government briefed parliament about its preparations.

I still believe that sanity will prevail, and that war with Iran will be avoided. With the disaster of Iraq, attacking Iran is simply not an option.
