FNA- Kuwait dismissed reports by the Reuters news agency claiming that Iran has used Kuwaiti waters to deliver arms and military assistance to Ansarullah movement in Yemen.

Kuwait's KUNA state news agency quoted a source at the Kuwaiti Foreign Ministry as saying on Wednesday that the country's waters are under the full control of the Kuwaiti navy and coast guards, adding that there were no reports of suspicious marine movements or activities.

The ministerial source called on media outlets to investigate matters more thoroughly before releasing any news on the matter.

Reuters had quoted unnamed sources as claiming on Tuesday that Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps has started using a new route across the Persian Gulf to funnel covert arms shipments to their Houthi allies in Yemen's war.

"Using this new route, Iranian ships transfer equipment to smaller vessels at the top of the Persian Gulf, where they face less scrutiny. The transshipments take place in Kuwaiti waters and in nearby international shipping lanes, the sources claimed," the Reuters report said.
