Kuwait Recalls Ambassador In Iran

06 January 2016 Kuwait

Kuwait recalled its ambassador to Iran on Tuesday, state news agency KUNA reported, after Gulf Arab allies Saudi Arabia and Bahrain severed relations with Tehran following attacks on Saudi missions by Iranian protesters.

"An official source at the Kuwaiti Foreign Ministry said that the ministry recalled the Ambassador of the State of Kuwait to the Islamic Republic of Iran on Tuesday morning Jan. 5 2016, against the backdrop of the attacks carried out by crowds of demonstrators," the agency reported.

The protests followed Saudi Arabia's execution of Shi'ite cleric Nimr al-Nimr.

KUNA said Kuwait held Iranian authorities fully responsible, reiterating its support for Saudi Arabia and supporting all measures Riyadh adopts to maintain its security and stability.
