A Kuwaiti court reportedly sentenced three men to death for alleged cooperation with Iran and Hezbollah. Iran International says the plot aimed to assassinate senior officials, including Interior Minister Sheikh Fahad Al-Yousef Al-Sabah, and Middle East Observer's Telegram posts also cite a plan against senior officials. Kuwait Times reports the State Security Criminal Court handed down the sentences on Monday on espionage and attack-planning charges, subject to appeal, and Middle East Observer says eight others received five-year terms.

Details by origin
Each detail, with the independent origins that reported it. An origin is the outlet or channel where a claim first appeared; reposts count once. A row counts no more independent origins than the event does above; where it lists more, it says so. This counts reports: it is not a measure of accuracy, and it does not change the event's status. "Reports differ" means two origins gave values that cannot both be true; it is about that detail, not about whether the incident happened.
