Kuwait foils IRGC infiltration bid off Bubiyan Island, tensions with Tehran rise
Kuwait says four men linked to Iran's IRGC tried to infiltrate Bubiyan Island by sea, wounding a Kuwaiti soldier; three suspects were arrested while two escaped. Kuwait condemned the incursion as a flagrant sovereignty violation, summoned Iran’s ambassador, and stressed its right to self-defence under the UN Charter, amid a background of recent Iran-linked drone activity and strikes in the region.
