Iran is claiming that some of the attacks on targets in southern Iran were carried out with missiles launched from several Gulf states, according to analyst Yair Goldblatt. The claim is unverified and has not been confirmed by independent sources.
Iran is now claiming that some of the recent strikes on targets in its south were launched from multiple Gulf states, not just Kuwait, according to a post by security and Middle East analyst Yair Goldblatt on X. The claim, which Goldblatt attributes to Iranian sources, has not been independently verified. This expands on earlier reports that pointed only to Kuwait as a launch point.
Earlier tonight, at 18:05 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that analyst Yair Goldblatt noted reports of launches from Kuwait targeting southern Iran. That thread began at 18:06 Jerusalem with unverified sources assessing that Iran's attack on Kuwait targeted ATACMS installations at air bases. Subsequent versions at 18:05 Jerusalem added footage of multiple missile impacts in Kuwait, a pro-Iranian outlet's footage attributed to an attack on Kuwait, and additional footage of the aftermath. The source quality across the thread has remained single-source and unverified, with no official confirmation from Iranian, Kuwaiti, or US authorities.
As The Zioneer reported on June 27, Iran had previously warned Gulf states against assisting any attacks on its territory. The current claim, if substantiated, would mark a significant escalation in the regional dimension of the ongoing confrontation.
The claim remains unverified, with no independent confirmation or official statement from any Gulf state or the US. The specific Gulf states allegedly involved have not been named.
