Kuwaiti authorities say they have arrested four men affiliated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) after a failed attempt to enter Kuwait by sea. Kuwait’s Interior Ministry, as reported by state news agency KUNA, says the arrests involve people who attempted to infiltrate the country after being detected by Kuwaiti forces. The reports state that clashes occurred during the attempt and that a member of Kuwait’s armed forces was injured.
According to the outlets, the men are accused of attempting illegal entry by sea and are described as IRGC-linked. The Washington Times reports that the four men admit their IRGC membership during interrogation. Al-Monitor and Al Jazeera add that the suspects also allegedly planned attacks against Kuwait, and that the attempted operation is associated with the Bubiyan Island area.
The accounts are based on Kuwait’s statements; they do not provide confirmation from Iran or independent verification of the claims. The information is presented as Kuwait’s explanation of the incident and the basis for the arrests.
