Kuwait Will Expel Iran Diplomats Linked to Spy Cell, Qabas Says
Kuwait will deport three Iranian diplomats who, a court ruled, were involved with a spy network, Al-Qabas reported, citing Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed al- Sabah.
The court, which sentenced two Iranians and a Kuwaiti to death for alleged involvement with the spy network, “proved this cell’s direct links to Iran, and precisely Iran’s Revolutionary Guard,” Al-Qabas cited Sheikh Mohammed as saying.
Kuwait recalled its ambassador to Tehran for talks, the foreign minister said yesterday in an interview. The Persian Gulf state will also summon the Iranian charge d’affaires to express its displeasure, according to Al-Qabas.
