A video published Saturday evening documents what appears to be a ground-to-ground MGM-140 (ATACMS) missile launched from Kuwait towards Iran, with a range of up to 300 kilometers. The footage emerges amid heightened US-Iran tensions, though it remains unverified by official sources.
A video circulating on Israeli Telegram channels Saturday evening, at 23:41 Jerusalem, appears to show the launch of a US-made MGM-140 (ATACMS) missile from Kuwait toward Iran. The footage emerges hours after The Zioneer first reported at 04:33 Jerusalem that unspecified reports indicated ATACMS missiles had been launched from Kuwait toward Iran. The video, which remains unverified, depicts a missile with a stated range of up to 300 kilometers.
The Zioneer reported at 04:33 Jerusalem Saturday that a single, unverified report claimed ATACMS surface-to-surface missiles were launched from Kuwait toward Iran. No details on numbers, targets, or impacts were available at that time. The video published at 23:41 Jerusalem provides visual evidence but has not been independently confirmed, and no official US or Kuwaiti comment has been issued.
The launch, if confirmed, occurs amid heightened US-Iran tensions. As The Zioneer reported on Thu Jun 11, US officials stated that President Trump has not abandoned diplomacy but that patience is wearing thin. Additionally, on Tue Jul 7, The Zioneer reported that a week-long halt on mutual strikes had expired and Iran resumed attacks on Israel, according to a Channel 14 analyst. The White House has reportedly warned Iran against further provocations, and Iranian officials have signaled Tehran is no longer bound by a memorandum of understanding with the US.
The video has not been verified by independent sources, and US officials have not commented. The context of the launch—whether it was a US or allied operation, and whether it was a response to Iranian actions—remains unclear. No information is available on the number of missiles, targets, or any interceptions.
