Kuwait's Foreign Ministry summoned Iranian Ambassador Mohammad Totonchi and demanded that Tehran immediately cease what it called 'illegal attacks' on the country, according to reports. The move follows a similar summoning earlier today over a tanker attack in the Strait of Hormuz.
Kuwait's Foreign Ministry summoned Iranian Ambassador Mohammad Totonchi on Tuesday evening and demanded that Tehran immediately cease what it described as 'illegal attacks' on Kuwaiti territory, according to reports. The protest comes hours after Kuwait summoned the same envoy earlier in the day over an Iranian attack on a tanker in the Strait of Hormuz, as The Zioneer reported. The latest summons broadens the diplomatic complaint to include unspecified attacks on Kuwait's land territory. In recent weeks, several Gulf states — including Jordan, Qatar, and Oman — have summoned Iranian diplomats to protest similar violations of their sovereignty, part of a growing regional backlash against Iranian military activity in the region. The Zioneer has covered these developments. The Iranian ambassador's response, if any, was not immediately reported.
