Kuwait City, May 12 (QNA) - Kuwait's Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Tuesday summoned the Iranian ambassador Mohammad Totonji and delivered a formal protest note following an armed infiltration by members of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps into Bubiyan Island and their clash with Kuwaiti forces.

Kuwait's Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Hamad Suleiman Al Mashaan strongly condemned the incident as a hostile act, demanding that Iran immediately and unconditionally halt such actions and hold it fully responsible for the blatant violation of the State's sovereignty, international law, the UN Charter, and UN Security Council Resolution 2817 (2026).

He also reaffirmed Kuwait's full right to self-defense under Article 51 of the UN Charter and to take all necessary measures to protect its sovereignty, security, and the safety of its citizens and residents. (QNA)
