The Islamic Republic of Iran has expelled three Kuwaiti diplomats in response to the Kuwaiti authorities' decision to expel three Iranian diplomats, Iranian news agency Press TV reports.
On April 2, Kuwait expelled three Iranian diplomats of the Iranian Embassy in Kuwait City, alleging that they had links to a spy network. Kuwaiti officials claimed that a number of the Iranian Embassy's officers have been gathering information about US military bases in Kuwait and passing it on to Iran.
The Islamic Republic has rejected this allegation as baseless.
