According to the source, the Iranian regime bombed overnight and this morning the Prince Hussein base in Jordan, Al Udeid base in Qatar, Sheikh Khalifa port in Kuwait, the US Fifth Fleet base in Bahrain, and Al Duqm port in Oman. The report also claims Saudi Arabia agreed to pay billions in protection money. The claims are unverified.
A new unverified report circulating Sunday morning names specific US military bases in five countries allegedly struck by Iran overnight. The report claims attacks on the Prince Hussein base in Jordan, Al Udeid airbase in Qatar, Sheikh Khalifa port in Kuwait, the US Fifth Fleet facility in Bahrain, and Al Duqm port in Oman. It also alleges Saudi Arabia agreed to pay protection money to avoid being targeted. The report extends the day's narrative: earlier at 05:28 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported unverified Arab claims of 12 ballistic missiles fired at a Jordan base and a Kuwait base. By 07:43 Jerusalem, the desk published four rapid updates covering a widening wave of attacks, culminating in Iran claiming responsibility for strikes on five Gulf states and saying it struck the UAE without claiming responsibility.
Dated antecedents. The earliest report today, at 05:28 Jerusalem, cited unverified Arab sources describing 12 ballistic missiles targeting a base in Jordan and one in Kuwait. At 07:43 Jerusalem, the story evolved: first, additional missiles toward Bahrain and strikes in Kuwait and UAE; second, a fresh wave on Bahrain and Kuwait; third, the scope expanded to include Qatar, Jordan, Oman, and the UAE; fourth, Iran formally claimed responsibility for attacks on Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, and Oman, and said it struck the UAE. The source quality shifted from anonymous reports to an official Iranian claim, but independent verification remains absent for all stages.
Attributed background. The newly named bases overlap with earlier Iranian claims. As The Zioneer reported on June 11, the IRGC said it struck five bases in Jordan, Kuwait, and Bahrain, including the Muwaffaq al-Salti airbase in Jordan and the naval support base in Bahrain. On July 9, Iran's military claimed it struck a Patriot system in Kuwait, a satellite station in Qatar, and US fuel depots in Bahrain. The new report follows a pattern of Iranian claims targeting the same infrastructure, though The Zioneer has not independently confirmed any of these strikes.
What remains open. The source of the new report is unidentified and its reliability unclear. No official confirmation from the US, the host countries, or any independent military source has been received. The extent of any actual strikes, damage, or casualties is unknown. The claim of Saudi Arabia paying protection money is unsubstantiated and appears to be a novel addition to the narrative.
