Iran says its ambassador met four nationals detained in Kuwait

DUBAI, Aug ‌18 (Reuters) - Iran's ​ambassador ​to Kuwait met four Iranian nationals who have been detained ‌in Kuwait for three months, Iranian ⁠state media quoted Iran's embassy in ‌Kuwait as saying on ‌Tuesday, a few days after an Iranian military official accused Kuwait of ​withholding information about their fate.

The Iranian embassy in Kuwait said ⁠in a post on X that the ambassador was ​informed about the health and the latest situation of the four.

Iran ​said in May ‌that four men affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards had been ⁠on a maritime patrol before entering Kuwaiti territorial waters because of a ⁠navigation disruption. Kuwait has said the four were ​suspected of planning hostile actions against the country.

Mohammad Baqerzadeh, commander of the Committee for ‌the Search for Missing Persons of Iran's Armed Forces General ‌Staff, accused Kuwait on Monday ⁠of withholding information ‌about the fate ​of the four men.
