Reports of explosions are emerging from Kuwait on Sunday morning, according to a Hebrew-language security source. The source assesses that Iran may be attacking American bases and assets in the region. The reports are unverified.
Shortly after 07:00 Jerusalem on Sunday, a Hebrew-language security source (Yossi Eliezer) monitoring Arabic-world Telegram channels reported explosions in Kuwait and assessed that Iran may be striking American bases and assets in the region. The report remains unverified, with no confirmation from Kuwaiti, US, or Iranian sources.
The Kuwait report is the latest in a chain of alerts across the Gulf that intensified overnight. At 02:44 Jerusalem, The Zioneer published the first reports of an Iranian retaliatory strike targeting US positions in Bahrain and Manama; within minutes, the thread expanded to include a second version reporting that strikes had also reached US positions in Kuwait. By 02:44, a third version reported missiles and drones striking a US base in Kuwait and air defenses being activated — all based on Iran-aligned channels, all unverified. Separately, at 06:43 Jerusalem, explosions and sirens were reported in Bahrain. The Kuwait alert at 07:00 represents a continued assessment, not a new event, and the source's framing has shifted from reporting strikes to assessing an Iranian intent to strike.
These Gulf alerts follow a wave of US strikes against Iranian air defenses and command centers across southern Iran that began Wednesday night and continued into Sunday, as The Zioneer reported in multiple bulletins since Wednesday night. A US official, cited by Axios on Thursday, had warned of expected Iranian retaliation that could target American bases.
All reports from the Gulf — including the Kuwait alerts — remain unverified. No independent confirmation, imagery, or official statements have emerged. The full scope, damage, or casualties, if any, remain unknown. The thread's sourcing has not evolved beyond single-source Telegram reports."
