01 · THE DISPATCH

Sunday evening's attacks on Kuwait mark a fresh escalation in the Iran-US conflict spilling over into the Gulf. Kuwait's Ministry of Defense confirmed that three border posts in the north were struck in a 'hostile and criminal' attack, and an offshore oil rig was hit by a drone, injuring one worker. The military declared full alert. The attack follows an earlier wave reported by The Zioneer at 18:21, when the IRGC fired three missiles at a Kuwaiti port and explosions were reported at a US base near the border. The US military has conducted consecutive nights of strikes on Iranian targets, including over 90 targets in Iran on Thursday, as the region remains on edge.
