A video circulating on social media claims to show U.S. forces launching HIMARS missiles toward Iran from a U.S. base in Kuwait on February 28, 2026. The footage, shared by the source "Israel Right on Telegram," has not been independently verified. The date of the alleged launch predates the most recent waves of U.S. strikes on Iran, which The Zioneer has covered extensively in June. The HIMARS (High Mobility Artillery Rocket System) is a truck-mounted multiple rocket launcher used by the U.S. Army. If confirmed, the launch would represent a direct U.S. strike from a Gulf state against Iranian territory, a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict. No official confirmation from U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) or Kuwaiti authorities has been reported.
