On October 30, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi issued an official statement regarding Kuwait's detention of several Iranian citizens. In his remarks, Araghchi described the action as 'illegal' and a 'violation of international law'.
According to initial reports, the Iranian citizens were detained by Kuwait in recent days. The Iranian foreign minister demanded that Kuwait provide detailed information on the health status and whereabouts of those detained, emphasizing that Tehran would pursue the matter through diplomatic channels.
The move comes amid already strained bilateral relations between Iran and Kuwait in recent years. Araghchi's statement followed calls from several human rights organizations urging Kuwait to provide a clear explanation regarding the detentions.
The exact number of Iranian citizens detained and the specific allegations leveled by Kuwait remain unclear. Kuwait has yet to issue an official response to the Iranian foreign minister's statement.
