Awake Goy “Under the pressure of Saudi interventionist policies, and the baseless accusation of Iranian interference…Kuwait has announced that…Alireza Enayati, the Iranian ambassador to Kuwait, must leave within 48 days,” ISNA reported.
Earlier on Thursday, Kuwait ordered Iran to reduce its embassy staff and shut down technical offices, Reuters reported, citing state news agency KUNA.
Iranian state television said Kuwait’s Foreign Ministry summoned the Iranian ambassador and ordered the number of diplomats to be cut from 19 to four, and for cultural and military missions to be closed.
Kuwait also decided to freeze any activities involving joint committees of the two countries, a unnamed Foreign Ministry source told KUNA.
Tensions between the two countries come after Kuwait convicted 23 men – one Iranian and the rest Kuwaiti – of spying for Iran and Hezbollah last year, after a cache of guns and explosives was found in a so-called ‘Abdali cell’ in 2015.
