Iran has claimed responsibility for missile attacks targeting United States military bases in Bahrain, according to the semi-official Tasnim news agency. The report stated that the strikes were aimed at American military installations, though Bahraini authorities have not yet issued any official response to the alleged attacks.
Earlier, Iran’s state broadcaster IRIB reported similar missile and drone strikes on the Al-Minhad base in the United Arab Emirates and the Ali Al-Salem air base in Kuwait, where US and British forces are stationed. These incidents come amid heightened regional tensions involving Iran and several Gulf states.
Previous reports have noted that Iran has repeatedly claimed attacks on US bases across the Persian Gulf, including the headquarters of the US Navy’s Fifth Fleet in Bahrain’s capital, Manama. The latest claims suggest a continuation of this pattern of confrontation in the region.
