Tensions in the Gulf have sharply escalated after Kuwait announced the detention of four individuals allegedly linked to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) following a suspected maritime infiltration attempt. Kuwaiti authorities say the men entered territorial waters by sea, triggering a major coastal security operation that reportedly led to clashes and injuries among security personnel. Iran has strongly pushed back against the allegations, rejecting claims of hostile intent and insisting the entry into Kuwaiti waters was caused by navigational disruption. Tehran has also demanded immediate consular access to the detained Iranian nationals as diplomatic pressure between the two countries continues to grow. WATCH
