A Kuwaiti court has issued a landmark ruling, sentencing three individuals to death for their roles in a sophisticated plot to assassinate the nation’s First Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister. The legal proceedings, overseen by the State Security Circuit, also resulted in five-year prison sentences for eight additional accomplices. The group faced serious charges, including espionage on behalf of Iran, illegal affiliation with Hezbollah, and orchestrating hostile acts intended to destabilize the country.

According to reports from the trial, the conspirators had meticulously divided roles to execute their plan, with several members responsible for logistical coordination and the procurement of explosives aimed at inciting public panic. In its closing statement, the court emphasized that such actions posed a grave threat to national security and public stability. The judiciary reaffirmed its commitment to protecting Kuwaiti sovereignty, declaring that the state will take a zero-tolerance approach toward foreign-backed interference and any attempts to undermine its core institutions.
