The source affiliated with Arabic-language Iranian media, the Abu Saleh al-Arabi Desk, reported Friday morning that the Iranian army (Artesh) launched suicide drones targeting US strategic facilities in Kuwait. The report explicitly states there is a clear division of labor between the regular army and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), suggesting that this operation was carried out by the Artesh rather than the IRGC. The claim is unverified; no confirmation from US Central Command, the Kuwaiti government, or independent sources has been reported. The Zioneer has previously covered IRGC-claimed strikes on US military targets in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan (July 21, July 12, June 8), but this is the first reported claim of a direct attack by the Iranian regular army on US assets in the Gulf. The Iranian Armed Forces operate under a dual structure, with the Artesh constitutionally tasked with territorial defense, while the IRGC is an ideological force focused on regime survival and regional projection. If confirmed, this would mark a significant shift in the Iranian military's operational posture.
