TL;DR

The Iranian hacker group Khanzala claims it used electronic capabilities to disrupt U.S. military combat waves (drone strikes) in the Persian Gulf, according to a single-source report on Telegram. The claim is unverified and the nature of the disruption is not specified.

01 · THE DISPATCH

The hacker group Khanzala, which claims to be affiliated with Iranian cyber operations, posted a message on Telegram stating it successfully disrupted waves of attacks by U.S. forces in the Persian Gulf using electronic warfare capabilities. The post did not specify which type of U.S. assets were affected or provide any proof.

The claim comes amid a broader surge of Iranian-aligned cyber and military activity against U.S. targets in the Gulf region over the past 24 hours. As The Zioneer reported at 09:19 UTC, Khanzala earlier claimed it had transferred coordinates of U.S. forces in Gulf countries to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), warning of impending drone strikes.

No U.S. military confirmation or denial of the disruption has been reported. The report remains a single unverified source and should be treated with caution.
