Bahrain's Foreign Ministry stated Sunday that Iran launched missiles and attack drones toward the kingdom, condemning the attack. The announcement, reported by i24NEWS, provides no details on interceptions or casualties.
Bahrain's Foreign Ministry officially confirmed and condemned an Iranian missile and drone attack on the kingdom Sunday morning, according to a report by i24NEWS. The announcement, the first official confirmation by the Bahraini government, follows hours of regional alarms: sirens had been reported in Bahrain during the night as the kingdom, which hosts a major U.S. naval base, told residents to seek shelter (as The Zioneer reported at Sun 03:10 Jerusalem, version 6 of this thread). No details on interceptions, impacts, or casualties were provided by Manama.
The thread began at Sun 03:10 Jerusalem with initial reports of sirens and explosions in Kuwait (version 1). By Sun 03:10, the Kuwaiti military confirmed its air defenses were intercepting hostile missiles and drones, and urged residents to follow safety instructions (versions 3-5). A US official told Reuters at Sun 03:10 that Iran had also fired at Bahrain and Kuwait, reporting no casualties or significant damage to US facilities (version 7). The Bahraini Foreign Ministry's statement now provides the first official government-level acknowledgment from Manama.
As The Zioneer reported in earlier versions of this thread, the attacks coincide with a new round of U.S. strikes against Iran. The wider context includes months of heightened regional tensions, with Iran having launched direct strikes on Israel in October 2024 and April 2025, as previously reported. The claim of an Iranian attack on Bahrain rests on a single reporting source (i24NEWS) and the government statement it cites; further official documentation or independent evidence from civil defense and military channels is needed to verify the scale, origin, and any impacts of the launches.
