Kuwait has formed an emergency team to prepare for any military conflict between Iran and the United States over Tehran's nuclear programme.
Kuwaiti newspapers said the team would draw up plans about necessary emergency supplies to keep the country running during a war.
Deputy Saleh Ashour said the parliament had also asked the government to brief deputies on emergency plans in case conflict breaks out.
The move comes amid concern in the Gulf Arab state, which was a launchpad for the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, over the prospects of war between Iran and the West.
The United States, which says Iran is trying to build an atomic bomb, has said it wants a diplomatic solution to the standoff but has not ruled out military action if that fails.
Iran says its nuclear programme is for domestic energy supplies and not aggression.
Kuwait, a staunch US ally, is worried about any strike on Iran's Bushehr nuclear power station that Russia is building for Iran. The Iranian port city lies less than 185 miles from Kuwait.
State news agency KUNA said earlier in April that Kuwait had asked Nato to send experts to help assess its readiness to deal with any nuclear radiation.
