Al-Mashaan described the incident as a “blatant violation of Kuwait’s sovereignty”, as well as a violation of international law and the UN Charter, and stressed that Kuwait has the right to self-defence.
As we reported earlier, Kuwait said four alleged members of Iran’s IRGC attempted to enter the country by sea to launch what it described as “hostile” activities.
The alleged “infiltrators” clashed with Kuwaiti armed forces and wounded one of their members, while two escaped, the Interior Ministry said.
