According to AFP, the US State Department has confirmed the release of Kuwaiti-American journalist Ahmed Shihab-Eldin from detention in Kuwait, where he has now been permitted to leave the country. This development reportedly occurred after significant diplomatic pressure from the administration of then-US President Donald Trump.
Shihab-Eldin had been held for several weeks amidst a regional crackdown, specifically linked to his dissemination of video footage concerning the escalating tensions and confrontational policies pursued by the United States against Iran.
