Kuwait reduces Iranian embassy staff after condemning attacks

This action followed the summoning of Iran’s chargé d’affaires in Kuwait and the delivery of an official protest note concerning Iranian attacks. The Ministry condemned an attack carried out by Iran on Wednesday, which caused damage to vital facilities, including diplomatic missions, and resulted in one death and several injuries. Kuwait emphasized its rejection of Iran’s acts of aggression, stating they escalate tensions, undermine regional security, and violate international law, the UN Charter, and Security Council Resolution 2817 2026.

The Ministry affirmed that the security, sovereignty, and safety of Kuwait’s citizens and residents are inviolable, and that the recurrence of such attacks reflects a systematic and aggressive approach that Kuwait will not tolerate. Kuwait also asserted its right to take appropriate measures in response to these repeated attacks. This incident marks the third attack on Kuwait in less than a week, with the Kuwaiti Army having intercepted missile and drone attacks of unspecified origin on Monday and Thursday.
