Iran expels 'several' Kuwait diplomats
Iran has expelled "several" Kuwaiti diplomats in a tit-for-tat retaliation for the expulsion of its diplomats accused of spying in the emirate, in a fresh blow to already tense relations across the Gulf.
"Iran has expelled in retaliation several Kuwaiti diplomats," the Islamic republic's Arabic-language Al-Alam television reported yesterday, quoting an informed source who did not reveal how many diplomats had been asked to leave the country.
The source said the Kuwaiti embassy had been told that the diplomats were to leave Iran "soon", Al-Alam reported.
