Bahrain issues first threat alerts since September as Iran says it attacked US base
SPY•Bahrain issued two potential-threat alerts, its first since September, as Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said they attacked a US military base in the country. There was no immediate confirmation from US or Bahraini authorities.
1. Alerts and attack claims
Bahrain urged citizens and residents to remain calm and move to the nearest safe location after issuing two alerts of potential threats on Sunday. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said they launched six drones targeting a US air-defence radar at the Al-Rifaa helicopter base; there was no immediate confirmation from US or Bahraini authorities.
2. Regional conflict continues
Two days earlier, the Revolutionary Guards said they had attacked a US early-warning radar in Bahrain. The US military denied the claim, saying it intercepted two Iranian drones without damage. Diplomatic efforts to end the conflict have yet to produce a breakthrough.
3. Further attacks reported
The Houthis and the Saudi-led coalition continued to exchange attacks. The coalition said it intercepted two Houthi ballistic missiles launched toward Riyadh and three drones in Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province.
