Arab sources, cited by analyst Hananel Aviv, claim that an Iranian suicide drone struck an American radar installation in Kuwait. The report is single-sourced and has not been independently confirmed.
Arab sources cited by analyst Hananel Aviv claimed at 01:05 Jerusalem that an Iranian suicide drone struck an American radar installation in Kuwait. The report, single-sourced and unverified, follows the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' (IRGC) earlier claim on Thursday at 10:45 Jerusalem that it had struck a C-RAM radar system and a concentration of American soldiers in Kuwait.
The new claim is the latest in a sequence of unconfirmed reports. At 00:55 Jerusalem, Aviv reported a suicide drone strike on an unspecified target in Kuwait. Hours earlier, at 10:45 Jerusalem, the IRGC had announced attacks on a radar system and troop concentration, without specifying the weapon. The Arab sources now provide a more specific target and attribution.
The Zioneer has previously reported on Iranian drone and missile attacks against US and allied targets across the Gulf, including a suicide drone en route to Iraq on Thursday at 05:28 Jerusalem, and a Kuwaiti statement on July 9 that one person was wounded by shrapnel during an Iranian attack. The broader escalation has included claims of damage to US assets in Qatar, Bahrain, and Jordan, all unverified by independent sources.
All claims remain unconfirmed by US or Kuwaiti authorities. The method of attack (suicide drone) and the precise nature of the target (radar installation) are based on a single source. The extent of damage, if any, is unknown.
