The Iraqi militia group Awliya al-Dam has claimed responsibility for a series of coordinated attacks targeting Jordan, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia, according to regional news outlet Al Arabiya. The claim has not been independently verified, and details on the timing and scope of the attacks remain unclear.
The claim by Awliya al-Dam adds to a pattern of attacks originating from Iraqi territory aimed at Gulf Arab states. As The Zioneer previously reported, the IRGC operated covert cells in Iraq that carried out drone strikes on Kuwait, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia (June 19). Iran has also claimed to have struck multiple Arab countries, including Jordan and Kuwait, in past months. The current claim, attributed to Al Arabiya, comes from the source tracking regional security incidents. The actual attacks have not been corroborated by official statements from the affected countries.
