Security analyst Chananel Aviv reported on Telegram that missiles have been launched from Kuwait toward targets in southern Iran, according to reports from Iraq. No details on the number, type, or exact targets were provided. The report is based on a single source and has not been independently confirmed.
Early Sunday, security analyst Chananel Aviv reported on Telegram that missiles were launched from Kuwait toward targets in southern Iran, citing Iraqi sources. This follows a video published Saturday evening (04:33 Jerusalem) that appeared to show an MGM-140 (ATACMS) missile launch from Kuwait into Iran, and an earlier report of ATACMS launches from Kuwait toward Iran, both published at the same time on Saturday. The new report adds specificity to the target area but remains unverified and based on a single source.
The thread began with the initial report of ATACMS launches from Kuwait toward Iran (Sat Jul 18, 04:33 Jerusalem). Shortly after, a video surfaced at the same timestamp appearing to show the launch. Both reports lacked independent confirmation. The Zioneer has tracked a series of similar reports from Aviv over the past days, including missile launches from Bahrain (Jul 14), additional launches from Kuwait (Jul 13), and Iraqi channels reporting unidentified aircraft likely missiles from Kuwait (Jul 12). These reports have consistently been based on single sources and unverified.
As The Zioneer reported on Jul 17, Aviv reported hits on American targets in Kuwait and fires. The same day, he reported an attack in Ahvaz, southern Iran. The region has been on high alert amid US-Iran tensions, with Iranian channels reporting movement at regime missile sites (Jun 28) and dozens of Iranian missiles observed over Iraq toward US bases (Jun 10). These reports form a pattern of unverified claims from Aviv's the source.
The number, type, and exact targets of the missiles remain unspecified. No official confirmation from Israeli, US, Kuwaiti, or Iranian sources has been provided. The video from Saturday has not been authenticated by independent analysts. The information remains unverified.
