Iranian source claims attack on Kuwait targeted US ground-to-ground missile systems

An Iranian source claims that the attack on Kuwait targeted American ground-to-ground missile systems that were identified moving. The report is unverified and comes from a single security-focused channel.

Sunday evening's attack on Kuwait was first reported by Iraqi media at 18:23 Jerusalem, claiming three Iranian ballistic missiles struck the Kuwait port area targeting US ATACMS batteries. Minutes later, at 18:23, Kuwaiti sources described a surprise attack on ground-to-ground missile systems, and by 18:39 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that Iranian missiles had targeted US forces in Kuwait. Now, an Iranian source claims the attack specifically targeted US ground-to-ground missile systems that were identified moving. The latest report remains unverified and comes from a single Arabic-language channel.

Earlier on Sunday, at 08:43 Jerusalem, Iran's army claimed drone strikes on a Patriot battery, ammunition depot, and radar in Kuwait, blaming Israel and the US for escalation. At 19:00 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that Iranian missiles had targeted US forces in Kuwait. The thread has evolved from a single Iraqi media report to multiple unverified claims from Iranian and Kuwaiti sources, but no independent confirmation has emerged.

As The Zioneer reported on Thu Jul 9, 16:29 Jerusalem, Iran's military and IRGC have previously claimed strikes on US bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, Jordan, and Qatar. The current attack fits a pattern of Iranian claims of targeting US missile systems in the Gulf, though all remain unverified.

What remains open: the exact target, location, extent of damage, and any casualties are unconfirmed. The claim of moving US ground-to-ground missile systems has not been corroborated by any independent source, and no US or Kuwaiti official statement has been issued.
