An adviser to King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa of Bahrain confirmed on his X account that Bahraini air defenses intercepted "several aerial targets" fired from Iran, as reported by N12. The statement follows sirens that sounded across Bahrain earlier during the Iranian retaliatory barrage. The Bahrain Defense Force had already announced overnight that its units intercepted multiple Iranian attacks, maintaining the highest alert level. This is part of a wider regional air-defense activation: Kuwait, Jordan, and other Gulf states also reported engaging Iranian missiles and drones aimed at American bases in the region. The Zioneer previously reported the Bahrain Defense Force's overnight interception and the activation of Gulf air defenses during the Iranian wave.
