Kuwaiti supermarkets to boycott Iran over Assad support

Kuwaiti supermarket chains have begun to boycott goods from Iran in protest at Iranian support of the Assad regime in Syria. At least nine cooperative societies are said to be backing the boycott.

According to local media, the activists' next stage would be to cancel the residency permits of Iranian nationals in Kuwait, and effectively expel Iranian labourers currently working in Kuwait. Over 50,000 Iranians are understood to work in Kuwait.
