An Iranian source claimed Sunday evening that US Army soldiers were killed and wounded in an attack on Kuwait today. The report, circulated via the Abu Saleh the Arab Desk channel, provides no details on the number of casualties, the location within Kuwait, or the nature of the attack. The claim is unverified and comes from a single source.
This latest claim follows a thread of unverified reports that began at approximately 18:11 Jerusalem, when initial reports emerged of three missiles launched from Iran toward Kuwait. By 18:11, the IRGC was reported to have fired three missiles at a Kuwaiti port and military base, with explosions also reported at a US base on the Kuwait-Iraq border. At 18:11, a pro-Iranian media outlet released footage purportedly showing an attack on Kuwait, and Iraqi sources described explosions at a US base on the border. At approximately 19:38 Jerusalem, unverified reports via security channels claimed American personnel were killed at a Kuwait port, with those reports suggesting the US would launch intense strikes in response. The earlier report did not specify whether the casualties were at the same port or a different location.
The broader US-Iran military confrontation has seen sustained American airstrikes on Iranian targets and Iranian threats against US forces in the region, as The Zioneer has reported. The Kuwait Army previously reported renewed attacks amid the escalation, according to a statement on June 10.
The Zioneer has not independently verified any of the claims in this thread. The latest report from the Iranian source remains unverified, with no corroboration from additional sources or official confirmation.
