On Sunday, Bahrain intercepted and destroyed several Iranian aerial attacks, according to the kingdom. Earlier, Tehran claimed it had targeted a US military base in Bahrain, amid uncertainty surrounding a deal aimed at ending the US-Israeli conflict with Iran. This marked the first time Bahraini air defenses had intercepted Iranian aerial threats since September, following two warnings advising residents to seek shelter.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran announced that it had struck a US military base in Bahrain in response to hostile actions by the United States. Iran's Fars news agency reported the incident. Bahraini military officials stated that their air defenses had intercepted multiple Iranian aerial attacks before they could reach their designated targets, accusing Tehran of maintaining a persistent hostile stance towards the kingdom.
The Revolutionary Guards claimed they had launched six drones aimed at US air defense radar at the Al-Rifaa helicopter base in Bahrain, as reported by Iranian state-run Press TV.
No immediate confirmation was provided by US or Bahraini authorities. Bahrain, host to the US Navy's Fifth Fleet, advised citizens and residents to remain calm and proceed to the nearest safe location.
