Iran-Krieg: Iran greift Ziele in Bahrain mit Drohnen an

Iranian Revolutionary Guard forces allegedly attacked a US military base in Bahrain's Gulf state, with the Revolutionary Guards claiming they launched six drones at the Al-Riffa radar system south of Manama, the capital. Bahrain's Defense Ministry, however, stated they repelled the Iranian drone attack. The conflicting reports have not yet been independently verified.

The US military's regional command did not comment on the matter. Bahrain's Interior Ministry had previously issued two missile alerts on the X platform, urging citizens to seek shelter. The attack came after Iran had earlier launched strikes against Bahrain, which is allied with Washington, for the second time in a few days. Iran's Revolutionary Guards retaliated after alleging recent US military strikes in southern Iran.

In recent months, US forces have repeatedly targeted Iranian radar installations and missile launching pads on the Iranian coast, including on Gheschm Island in the Strait of Hormuz recently. Despite this, Iran's forces seem to have succeeded in carrying out land-based attacks and laying mines in the strait. In mid-February, Israel and the US initiated war against Iran, and Iranian forces used threats and attacks to effectively block maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz for weeks.

For several months, the US Navy has been attempting to enable the resumption of oil and liquefied gas trade through the strait with escorted civilian vessels. US President Donald Trump has signaled he does not intend to return to larger combat operations, but the conflict with the Islamic Republic remains unresolved, with negotiations stalled for months.
