Kuwait said Tuesday that four people arrested earlier this month as they attempted to enter the country by sea have confessed to belonging to Iran's Revolutionary Guards.
The four men -- two navy colonels, a captain, and a lieutenant commander -- admitted they had been tasked by Iran's ideological army with "infiltrating" Bubiyan Island, Kuwait's interior ministry said in a statement published by state news agency Kuna.
According to the statement, one member of the Kuwaiti army was injured in clashes with the group, and two of the infiltrators managed to escape.
The island is Kuwait's largest and is located near the Iranian coast. The group attempted to enter on May 1 "aboard a fishing boat specially chartered to carry out hostile actions against Kuwait", the ministry said.
