The State Security Court of Appeal found the individual guilty of collaborating with foreign entities, posing a threat to Kuwait's national security. Court documents revealed that the defendant frequently visited Qom, Iran, where he engaged with senior security officials and received military training from Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps and Hezbollah.
