The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, represented by Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Ambassador Hamad Al-Mushaan, summoned Ambassador Mohammad Toutounji, Iran’s Ambassador to Kuwait, on Wednesday, handing him a note of protest regarding a statement issued by the Islamic Republic of Iran’s embassy in Kuwait on October 28, 2026. The statement was deemed a blatant interference in Kuwait’s internal affairs, an infringement on its sovereignty and the independence of its judicial authority, in clear violation of international laws and norms.
The Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs reiterated Kuwait’s strong rejection and condemnation of any interference in judicial rulings issued by its national courts, emphasizing the necessity for the Iranian side to comply with international law, the United Nations Charter—particularly the principles of good neighborliness and non-interference in the internal affairs of states—and the provisions of the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.
