An Iraqi source with close ties to Gulf states tells Kan News that a Gulf country may have carried out the overnight strike in southern Iran between Thursday and Friday, the one not conducted by Israel or the U.S.

He notes it has happened before during the war, mainly by the UAE, and that Gulf states are deeply unhappy with the current situation regarding Iran.
