Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) published a photo of football star Lamine Yamal holding a Palestinian flag placed on a Shahed drone, and claimed the drone was launched toward American military bases in Kuwait, according to reports. The claim is unverified and based on a single IRGC source.
The IRGC released the photo and claim on Tuesday afternoon. The group has made several similar unverified claims in recent weeks regarding drone and missile attacks on US bases in Kuwait and Bahrain, as previously reported by The Zioneer. The inclusion of Lamine Yamal's image appears to be a propaganda tactic aimed at generating attention. Independent verification of the launch or impact at the alleged targets is not available.
