New satellite imagery released on Tuesday documents damage to the Kuwait Oil Export Company's facility at Al Ahmadi port, according to analyst Yair Goldblatt. The imagery, taken on Monday, shows damage to the facility, which Goldblatt attributes to Iranian fire. The cause has not been independently confirmed, and the extent of the damage and its impact on Kuwait's export capacity are unclear.
The report adds to earlier satellite imagery documenting damage to Kuwait's oil infrastructure from Iranian strikes. On Saturday, July 18, The Zioneer reported that satellite imagery showed Iran had struck the Kuwait National Oil Company's oil collection and distribution center, significantly limiting export capacity. Additional imagery published on Monday showed smoke rising from Al Ahmadi port after the strikes. The new imagery appears to show further damage to the same terminal.
The Zioneer has also reported on damage to other Gulf infrastructure from Iranian strikes, including U.S. bases in Qatar and Bahrain, and a port in Bandar Abbas. The reports have been based on satellite imagery and have not been independently verified. The Iranian strikes are part of an ongoing conflict between Iran and the U.S.-led coalition, with Gulf states caught in the crossfire.
