A member of Iran's National Security Committee warned that Kuwait will face 'special treatment' for attacks originating from its territory, according to the analyst Abu Saleh (Arabic Desk). 'Kuwait should know that its situation after the end of this war will not be normal,' the official said, adding that Iran regards attacks launched from Kuwait as direct attacks.
The warning, reported by the security analyst Abu Saleh (Arabic Desk) on Sunday afternoon, quotes an unnamed member of the Iranian parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Committee. The official stated that Kuwait will not return to a 'normal' situation after the current war concludes, and that Iran will treat attacks emanating from Kuwaiti territory as direct attacks deserving 'special treatment.' The statement does not specify a timeframe or identify which war is referenced. The threat echoes earlier Iranian rhetoric: on July 9, Ebrahim Rezaee, the committee's spokesperson, warned of a 'severe blow' from Iran, as The Zioneer reported. Abu Saleh, a frequent commentator on Iranian security affairs, has previously published analyses of Iranian pressure on regional states. The unnamed official's warning is the latest in a series of Iranian statements directed at Gulf states amid regional tensions.
