Authorities in Kuwait have ordered the closure of a local Iranian school, a source at the education ministry tells AFP, 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 has been one of several Gulf states hosting US forces to be targeted by Iran over the course of the war, most recently when the June ceasefire 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.
