Iran Strikes US Naval Base in Bahrain; Missiles Hit Across Persian Gulf
As part of its retaliatory response, Iran launched ballistic missiles that struck a U.S. naval base in Bahrain, the headquarters of the U.S. Navy’s Fifth Fleet, with footage indicating heavy smoke. Qatar intercepted two Iranian missiles over its territory, demonstrating the reach of Iran’s strikes into other Gulf states hosting U.S. facilities. Explosions were also reported in the UAE capital, Abu Dhabi, while sirens sounded across Jordan and Bahrain following the missile launches.
