Iranian envoy visits four nationals detained for three months in Kuwaiti prison

Iran's ambassador to Kuwait met with four Iranian nationals who have been held in a Kuwaiti prison for three months, according to a statement from Iran's embassy in Kuwait on Tuesday. This came a few days after an Iranian military official accused Kuwait of withholding information about the detainees' well-being.

The Iranian embassy in Kuwait announced via Twitter that the ambassador had been updated on the health and the current situation of the four individuals. In May, Iran had claimed that four men affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards were on a maritime patrol when they entered Kuwaiti territorial waters due to a navigation issue.

A commander with Iran's Committee for the Search for Missing Persons of the Armed Forces General Staff, Mohammad Baqerzadeh, accused Kuwait of withholding information about the fate of the four men during a Monday press conference.
