The Iranian army said its drones struck the Ahmed al-Jaber base in Kuwait, targeting an airstrip, satellite communications, and equipment warehouses. Tehran framed the attack as retaliation for recent US strikes on Iran and a US-attributed strike on a residential building on Qeshm Island. The claim is unverified by independent sources.
The Iranian army announced this afternoon that its drones struck the Ahmed al-Jaber Air Base in Kuwait, claiming hits on an airstrip, satellite communications systems, and equipment warehouses. The statement, attributed to the Iranian army spokesperson, frames the attack as retaliation for recent US strikes on Iran and an alleged US strike on a residential building on Qeshm Island. This is the latest in a series of Iranian claims of drone attacks on US bases in Kuwait today, all of which remain unverified by independent sources.
Earlier today, at 08:57 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported the initial Iranian claim of drone attacks on US bases in Kuwait. A second version of the report, published at the same time, included an analyst's assessment that Iran is violating ceasefire agreements to pressure for financial demands. A third version, also at 08:57, specified that the attack was attributed to the regular Iranian army (Artesh), emphasizing a division of labor with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The claims have not been independently verified, and no confirmation from US or Kuwaiti authorities has been reported.
The Zioneer has reported on repeated Iranian claims of drone and missile strikes on US bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan since July. These claims have consistently lacked independent verification, with US and regional authorities typically reporting successful interceptions or declining to comment. The Iranian army has previously claimed strikes on the Ali Al-Salem base and Camp Al-Adiri in Kuwait, as well as bases in Bahrain and Jordan.
There is no independent verification of the reported strike on the Ahmed al-Jaber base. The extent of damage, if any, and the operational status of the base remain unknown. The claim has not been confirmed by US Central Command, the Kuwaiti government, or any other official source. The situation remains fluid, and The Zioneer will continue to update as more information becomes available.
