- Kuwait ordered closure of the country's only Iranian school, education ministry source told AFP.
- Minister revoked the school's educational license and ordered its closure; new admissions suspended for the coming academic year.
- Closure came after Kuwait faced repeated Iranian attacks amid the Middle East war, including attacks after a June ceasefire breakdown.
Authorities in Kuwait ordered the closure of a local Iranian school, a source at the education ministry told AFP on Thursday, after the country came under repeated Iranian attack during the Middle East war.
The source did not give a reason for the closure of the country’s only Iranian school, but Kuwait was one of several Gulf states hosting US forces to be targeted by Iran over the course of the war, most recently when a June ceasefire between the belligerents broke down.
“The Minister of Education issued a decision to revoke the educational license of the private Iranian school and close it down,” said the text of the decision, which was seen by AFP.
New admissions were suspended for the coming academic year, with the ministry urging parents to transfer their children to other schools, the decision read.
