A Bangladeshi expatriate named Md. Jasim Mia, aged 30, from Doritazpur village in Kulaura upazila of Moulvibazar, died after falling from an under-construction multi-storey building in Bahrain. The accident occurred around 12 p.m. Bangladesh time on Tuesday while he was working at the site. Co-workers rushed him to a local hospital, where doctors declared him dead.

According to local sources, Jasim Mia had been living in Bahrain for several years, working as a mason for a construction company. On the day of the incident, he reportedly slipped and fell while performing his duties. Local union council member Md. Fatik Ali confirmed the incident and said the death resulted from an accidental fall during work.

News of Jasim Mia’s death cast a pall of grief over his home village. His parents, Abdul Gaffar and Samarun Begum, were devastated by the loss of their eldest son. Family members have appealed to authorities and the government for assistance in repatriating his body, while local representatives have promised necessary support.

Bahrain has reported that a residential building in Muharraq Governorate was damaged following an Iranian attack. The country’s Interior Ministry confirmed the incident, noting that no casualties were reported. In a post on social media platform X, Bahrain blamed Iranian aggression for the damage.

Earlier, Bahrain had called on the United Nations Security Council to convene an emergency session to end what it described as ongoing aggression and to hold those responsible accountable. The government strongly condemned Iran’s missile and drone attacks, calling them a violation of Bahrain’s sovereignty and a threat to regional stability.

Bahrain reiterated its appeal for international intervention through the UN to stop the attacks and ensure accountability for the perpetrators, emphasizing the need to restore calm and stability in the Gulf region.

Bahrain has strongly condemned Iran’s recent missile and drone attacks, describing them as a violation of its sovereignty and a threat to regional stability. In an official statement issued on June 28, 2026, Bahrain said the attacks undermine efforts to ease tensions and maintain peace in the region.

The statement urged the United Nations Security Council to convene an emergency session to address the ongoing aggression and ensure accountability for those responsible. Bahrain emphasized that it retains the full legal right to defend its sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity under international law.

Bahrain also held the Iranian government fully responsible for any escalation resulting from its continued acts of aggression, according to the statement cited by Middle East Eye.

Bahrain has accused Iran of launching a drone attack on its territory early Saturday, describing the incident as a serious violation of its sovereignty and international law. The Bahraini Foreign Ministry issued a statement condemning the attack and said multiple drones targeted areas within Bahrain, though it did not specify the exact locations or intended targets.

According to the ministry, the assault endangered civilian lives and disrupted ongoing efforts to reduce regional tensions. The statement emphasized the gravity of the incident and its potential to undermine stability in the Gulf region.

As of the report’s publication, Iran had not issued any immediate comment regarding Bahrain’s allegations.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio arrived in Bahrain on Thursday as part of a three-day regional tour aimed at securing Middle Eastern allies’ backing for the recent US-Iran agreement. His visit marks the final leg of the trip, during which he is presenting the terms of the deal to skeptical Gulf Arab partners and reassuring them of Washington’s commitment to their security interests.

Rubio acknowledged that introducing the peace agreement to Gulf leaders is a sensitive task. Many regional allies fear that excessive concessions to Tehran could strengthen Iran and disrupt the region’s security balance and oil flow. During his stay in Manama, Rubio is scheduled to meet with the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), a bloc of six Sunni monarchies including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, and Kuwait.

This mission represents the first high-level diplomatic engagement in the oil-rich Gulf region following last week’s US-Iran agreement, underscoring Washington’s effort to maintain regional stability and alliance confidence.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has claimed responsibility for a drone strike on the United States Fifth Fleet base in Bahrain. The IRGC stated that the attack was carried out in retaliation for US strikes on several locations in southern Iran, including Jask, Sirik, and Qeshm Island. The incident occurred amid ongoing hostilities between the two sides.

According to the IRGC, the US attacks damaged a telecommunications tower and destroyed two water tanks in Sirik’s Bemani district. The IRGC warned that more severe retaliatory actions would follow if what it called US military aggression continued. In Bahrain, warning sirens were activated, and the Interior Ministry urged residents to remain calm and move to safe areas.

Al Jazeera reported from Tehran that both the IRGC and the Khatam al-Anbiya headquarters confirmed strikes on several US bases in the Gulf region, though only the Bahrain base was specifically identified. The situation remains tense as both sides signal readiness for further escalation.

Bahrain has condemned Iran for launching seven ballistic missiles targeting the territories of Bahrain and Kuwait early Saturday. The Bahraini Foreign Ministry described the attack as a severe violation of the country’s sovereignty and a threat to Gulf regional security. According to the ministry, the missiles were successfully intercepted, and it praised the vigilance of the Bahraini and Kuwaiti armed forces.

In its statement, Bahrain accused Iran of violating United Nations Security Council Resolution 2817 (2026), which denounced Iranian attacks and any attempt to close the Strait of Hormuz or disrupt international navigation. The ministry urged Iran to immediately halt such unjustified assaults, fully reopen the strait without restrictions, disclose the locations of naval mines, and allow over 20,000 stranded sailors to leave the area safely.

Bahrain emphasized that its patience should not be mistaken for weakness and reaffirmed its commitment to take all lawful measures to protect national security and sovereignty.

Bahrain has urged residents to move to safe shelters after Iran launched attacks on Kuwait and Bahrain in response to US strikes. Early Saturday morning, warning sirens sounded across Bahrain, prompting authorities to issue an alert for citizens and residents to remain calm and seek nearby safe locations. The Ministry of Interior announced the advisory through a message on social media platform X at around 4:15 a.m. local time.

Earlier in the week, Bahrain reported that its air defense system had intercepted and destroyed three missiles and several drones. The recent escalation follows a series of retaliatory actions between Iran and the United States, with Bahrain now taking precautionary measures to protect its population.

Authorities have not yet provided further details on the extent of the attacks or any casualties, but the alert indicates heightened security measures and ongoing regional tension.

Bahrain has arrested 15 individuals accused of working for Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The announcement came just hours after Iran reportedly launched attacks on Bahrain and neighboring Kuwait. The Bahraini Interior Ministry said investigations are ongoing to identify all persons linked to the suspected Iranian cell.

Security operations in Bahrain have been continuing since late February, when Iran began attacks on the country. Last month, Bahraini courts sentenced nine people to life imprisonment for allegedly conducting terrorist activities with IRGC support. In April, authorities revoked the citizenship of 69 people accused of backing Iranian attacks on Bahrain.

Bahrain, which has a large Shia population, has long faced internal tensions. Many Shia citizens claim political and economic marginalization, while the government denies discrimination and repeatedly accuses Iran of inciting unrest in the kingdom.

Bahrain has sentenced nine individuals to life imprisonment on charges of espionage and collaboration with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). According to state media reports released on Sunday, prosecutors alleged that the convicted individuals coordinated with the IRGC to conduct hostile and terrorist activities. Two additional defendants received three-year prison terms in the same case.

Authorities stated that some of those convicted had taken photographs of key strategic sites in Bahrain under IRGC instructions, while others were accused of transferring funds from Iran to Bahrain, including through cryptocurrency channels. Prosecutors added that several defendants helped recruit local operatives and assisted in implementing the alleged plans.

The verdict comes amid Bahrain’s ongoing crackdown on individuals accused of ties with Tehran. The ruling follows heightened regional tensions after U.S. and Israeli military actions against Iran in late February, which led Gulf states to strengthen security measures.

The report stated that the convicted individuals were involved in gathering information on key and sensitive installations and in financial transactions related to these activities. Authorities did not disclose the identities of the accused or details of the investigation.

Bahrain has long accused Iran of interfering in its internal security affairs, while Tehran has consistently denied such allegations, according to the report.

According to Syria’s state news agency SANA, the Syrian government pledged complete support for Bahrain’s efforts to maintain security and stability in the country.

Bahrain announced on Saturday that it had detained 41 people allegedly connected to the IRGC. The report also noted that Egypt and Kuwait had earlier expressed similar solidarity and support for Bahrain in this matter.

Bahrain’s Interior Ministry announced the arrest of 41 individuals accused of having ties with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The state-run Bahrain News Agency confirmed the report on May 9, 2026. The arrests come amid a broader crackdown by Bahraini authorities on people allegedly connected to Iran.

According to the ministry, several dozen individuals have also had their citizenship revoked for allegedly supporting attacks on Bahrain by Iran. The arrested persons are accused of showing sympathy toward Iran and conspiring with foreign powers. The ministry stated that these individuals collaborated with foreign entities and expressed support for Iran.

The report, citing Al Jazeera, indicates that the arrests are part of Bahrain’s ongoing efforts to counter perceived Iranian influence within the country.

Bahrain has revoked the citizenship of 69 individuals accused of expressing support, praise, or sympathy for Iran. According to Anadolu Agency, the decision was made in response to recent regional tensions involving Iran. The Bahrain News Agency reported on Monday, April 27, that those who showed sympathy toward Iran’s 'hostile and criminal acts' lost their citizenship, including some of their family members.

Earlier in March, Bahrain’s High Criminal Court held a preliminary hearing in a case accusing several people of promoting and exaggerating Iran’s 'terrorist activities,' though the number of defendants was not disclosed at that time. The move comes amid heightened regional conflict following a joint U.S.-Israel military operation against Iran on February 28, which reportedly resulted in more than 3,300 deaths.

A two-week ceasefire between Washington and Tehran was brokered by Pakistan on April 8 and later extended indefinitely on April 21 at Pakistan’s request, as announced by U.S. President Donald Trump.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has claimed responsibility for an attack on an Amazon cloud computing center in Bahrain, describing it as a “first real warning.” The claim was reported by Iran’s state news agency IRNA on April 2, 2026. The IRGC said the strike was a response to recent U.S.-Israeli attacks in Iran that caused extensive damage to private infrastructure. The group warned that if such actions continued, it would take harsher measures in the future.

In its statement, the IRGC said that companies previously identified by the group would face stronger punitive actions if hostilities persisted. It also asserted that the U.S. president would bear responsibility for any destruction of regional assets belonging to these firms. The announcement follows heightened regional tensions after cross-border attacks and retaliatory threats.

Analysts cited in the report suggested that such claims of attacks could further escalate the risk of broader conflict across the Middle East, as both sides exchange warnings and retaliatory actions.
