U.S. says detained Kuwaiti-American journalist released by Kuwait

April 25, 2026 ,


The State Department says a detained Kuwaiti-American journalist who was arrested in Kuwait has been released after intervention by the Trump administration.


The department said late Friday that Ahmed Shihab-Eldin had been freed and allowed to leave Kuwait. It offered no other details, citing privacy concerns.


CBS partner BBC News had reported Thursday that Shihab-Eldin was acquitted of charges that he had re-posted videos and images related to the Iran war. He had been accused of spreading false information, BBC News reported.
