According to the Kuwaiti daily Al-Siyassa, the seven members of the Iranian spy cell arrested in Kuwait have admitted that they planned to attack Kuwaiti and American military facilities in Kuwait and other Gulf countries, in the event of a military attack on Iran. It was also reported that the cell was financed by pro-Iranian Kuwaiti businessmen.

Speaking on Al-Alam TV, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast denied the reports on the discovery of a spy cell, and IRGC public relations chief Ramazan Sharif said that the reports were a conspiracy by the Zionist media and its proxies in the region, and were a follow-up to the false reports about the Iranian money laundering network ostensibly exposed in Bahrain. These reports, he added, were meant to smear the Islamic Revolution, which is supported by the Sunni Arab peoples in the region.
