Security analyst Yair Goldblatt reported on X that explosions are currently being heard in Kuwait, which he attributes to Iranian fire. The report is unverified and lacks specific details on the location, type of fire, casualties, or damage. This latest report follows a series of developments earlier today (Thursday) around the Kuwait-Iraq border.
At 13:31 Jerusalem, The Zioneer first reported explosions at the Iraq-Kuwait border. Over the next minutes, reports specified heavy explosions at the Abdali border crossing, occurring during the Iraqi Prime Minister’s meeting in Tehran. By the same time, Iran claimed responsibility for striking Al-Abdali as retaliation for a US strike on Shalamcheh, and a separate report indicated a drone attack caused the explosions. The thread’s latest version noted explosions in Kuwait coinciding with US strikes on Qeshm Island. Later, at 14:53 Jerusalem, a separate report described an Iranian ballistic missile striking near a Kuwait border crossing, with smoke rising.
Goldblatt is a recurring source in The Zioneer’s coverage of the regional escalation. He previously posted footage of an Iranian missile launch toward Gulf states and assessed that IRGC missile launches may be behind blasts in southern Iran.
The current report remains a single-source claim. No further details on the location within Kuwait, the specific type of Iranian fire, or any casualties or damage have been provided, and the report awaits independent verification.
