Kuwait says it is taking action against two Iranian embassy personnel after an attack on Kuwait’s airport. Kuwait’s deputy foreign affairs minister, Hamad Suleiman Al-Mashaan, summons Iran’s charge d’affaires in Kuwait, Hamed Hamid Yaqoubi Far, and hands him an official protest note over what Kuwait describes as continued Iranian attacks, according to the Kuwaiti foreign ministry. Kuwait also says it reduces the number of members of the Iranian embassy in the country. As part of that decision, it considers two members of the Iranian diplomatic mission persona non grata and requests that they depart Kuwaiti territory within 24 hours. The ministry’s statement links the diplomatic step to an Iranian attack on the airport that Kuwait says killed one person and injured dozens. The two referenced articles report the same sequence of events: the diplomatic protest is delivered to Iran’s charge d’affaires, and Kuwait issues the 24-hour departure demand for the two embassy staff following the deadly airport incident.
