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