Kuwait on Thursday ordered the expulsion of about 15 Iranian diplomats after the emirate's top court convicted a "terror" cell of links to the Islamic republic Nike Air Max 270 Men's Elemental Gold Black Sale , a government source told AFP.
Kuwait also ordered the closure of the Iranian "military, cultural and trade" missions, said the government official, who asked not to be named.
The Gulf state's supreme court last month sentenced the mastermind of the cell to life in jail and condemned 20 others to various prison terms for alleged links with Iran and Lebanese Hezbollah and plotting terror attacks in Kuwait.
State Minister for Cabinet Affairs Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah Al-Sabah Nike Air Max 270 KPU TPU Men's Black Blue Sale , who is also acting information minister, confirmed that Kuwait had taken diplomatic action against Iran but declined to specify the measures.
"Following the supreme court ruling on the case ... the government of Kuwait has decided to take measures, in accordance with diplomatic norms and the Vienna Convention, towards its relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran Nike Air Max 270 Women's Light Pink White Sale ," Sheikh Mohammad told AFP.He provided no further details.
The row comes at a time when Kuwait is trying to mediate an end to the Gulf's worst diplomatic crisis in years, after Sunni-ruled Saudi Arabia and its allies cut ties with Qatar over accusations it is too close to Shiite Iran and funds extremists.
The Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Seyassah reported on Monday that 14 of the cell's 26 members had fled to Iran by sea.
They were convicted by a lower court early last year but acquitted on appeals several months later and set free.

Manchester United ended their US preseason tour on a high note on Monday (US time), rallying for a 3-1 triumph over English Premier League rivals Liverpool.
In the final of the International Champions Cup friendly tournament, Louis van Gaal's men overturned an early Steven Gerrard penalty - the third spot kick United have conceded on tour - to claim victory through second-half goals from Wayne Rooney Nike Air Max 270 Flyknit White Black Sale , Juan Mata and Jesse Lingard.
Brendan Rodgers' Liverpool, at the end of their own preseason tour of the US, provided easily the biggest test of United's preseason so far as the old foes clashed before 51,104 fans at Sun Life Stadium nike exp-x14 sale , home of the NFL's Miami Dolphins.
United were perhaps less sharp than in their previous matches on the tour, but improved in the second half and head home with five victories from five matches under new manager Van Gaal.
Van Gaal, tapped more than two months ago to replace the sacked David Moyes at Manchester United, took the reins only after guiding the Netherlands to a third-place finish at the World Cup.
Although the gruff Dutchman was pleased with Monday's -victory nike metcon sale , he was already focused firmly on August 16 and Swansea's visit to Old Trafford in their Premier League opener.
"It's nice for the fans in the USA and also at home that we beat Liver-pool," he said. "I think we gave a lot of pleasure to the fans and that's very important.
"Of course, it's better to win than to lose in preseason, but the most important game is against Swansea City. That's the one we have to win."
Rooney captained Manchester United for the first time on the tour.
And after Gerrard beat David de Gea from the penalty spot in the 14th minute - after Raheem Sterling drew a challenge from Phil Jones nike react element 87 sale , it was Rooney who grabbed the equalizer in the 55th.
Javier Hernandez flew down the right and sent in a cross that Rooney fired past Simon Mignolet.
Two minutes later, Luke Shaw's pass found Mata, who beat Mignolet with a low shot to put United up 2-1.
Rooney was also involved in a brief controversy that flared in the 65th minute.
A long-range shot from United's Ashley Young bounced back into play off the goal frame and Rooney poked the ball home, only for officials to belatedly disallow the goal when they realized the ball had been out of play on the net behind the goal.
Lingard completed the scoring in the 88th munite nike m2k tekno sale , blasting Young's pass past Mignolet.
"It's obviously great to win the game and win the tournament," Rooney said. "We've worked hard in the preseason. Today in the first half Liverpool were the better team. We were poor, we didn't move the ball quick enough. We knew we had to put that right. The second half we came out and played very well and deserved the win."

KANDAHAR， Afghanistan， July 15 (Xinhua) -- "I am delighted to embark on this new journey of producing grapes to sell to make a living for my family rather than having to produce poppy plants for the drug trade，" Ajab Khan， a farmer in the southern Kandahar province， told Xinhua.
While cleaning and packing his produce into cartons， Khan said he was delighted that the improving security situation in Afghanistan had paved the way for him and other villagers to leave the nefarious poppy trade and move into a legitimate， non-lethal and positive agricultural industry that is unconnected to militant groups profiteering off the lucrative drug trade.
"Thank God that today I am supplying grapes to the market instead of poppies as I have been doing in the past，" the jubilant Khan told Xinhua.
A resident of Panjwai district， a former Taliban stronghold in Kandahar， the 55-year-old farmer said in the past he had routinely cultivated poppies to earn a living but this year， for the first time， he is harvesting grapes from his own garden to provide for his family.
Once the hub of the opium trade in the southern region， Kandahar， especially the Panjwai district has been transformed into a center for grape farming due to a greatly improved security situation there and in adjoining districts，.
