So that’s not so unreasonable.

Latest word is that it was thought to be Iranian forces in Iraq and a drone was sited over Kuwait.

Additionally... drones and cruise missiles can easily change course at waypoints to appear to come from other sources. Pretty standard tactics even back in the 80s. But something launched from Yemen wouldn’t fly over Kuwait even accepting that.
