Iran launched three ballistic missiles toward the al-Mina area in Kuwait, where US Army ATACMS ground-to-ground missile systems are reportedly stationed, according to Iran's Fars news agency citing additional sources. No information on impacts, interceptions, or casualties is yet available.
A new unverified report from Iran's Fars news agency claims that Iran fired three ballistic missiles toward the al-Mina area in Kuwait, where it says US Army ATACMS ground-to-ground missile systems are deployed. The report, which emerged at 19:50 Jerusalem, is the latest in a series of Iranian claims of strikes on US or allied positions in the Gulf, all of which remain unconfirmed by independent sources.
Earlier today (Sunday 18:23 Jerusalem), The Zioneer reported a cascade of unverified claims: Iraqi media first reported three Iranian ballistic missiles hitting the Kuwait port area targeting US ATACMS batteries. Kuwaiti sources then claimed a surprise attack on ground-to-ground missile systems, followed by an Iranian source specifying the target as a GM-140 ATACMS system. A subsequent report identified the weapon as a GM-140 missile system, and another claimed the attack targeted a US Army missile unit facility. All these reports originated from a single security-focused channel and remain unsubstantiated.
As The Zioneer reported on July 9, 2026, Iran launched ballistic missiles from Arak, some reportedly toward Kuwait, in a broader pattern of Iranian missile fire. A video circulating in July claimed US forces launched HIMARS missiles toward Iran from a Kuwait base in February 2026, though that footage was also unverified. The ATACMS (Army Tactical Missile System) is a US-made surface-to-surface missile with a range of up to 300 km, deployed by the US military in several Gulf states. The al-Mina area is a port and industrial zone near Kuwait City.
No independent confirmation of any impacts, interceptions, or casualties has emerged. The reports remain unsubstantiated, and no official US, Kuwaiti, or independent source has corroborated the claims.
