TL;DR

Channel 11 released footage that appears to show the moment of an Iranian Revolutionary Guards attack on the US Fifth Fleet's headquarters in Bahrain. The timing and context of the footage are not independently verified.

01 · THE DISPATCH

At 12:04 Jerusalem, Channel 11 broadcast footage that appears to show the moment of an Iranian Revolutionary Guards attack on the US Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain. The broadcast follows earlier reports of such footage circulating online, which The Zioneer covered at 03:50 Jerusalem.

At 03:50 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported a series of developments: initially, sirens were heard in Bahrain and Kuwait after US strikes on Iran. A single source then claimed a direct hit on the Fifth Fleet base, which was quickly revised to a strike near the base. Finally, new footage circulated showing multiple impacts at the headquarters, though the source of the footage was not specified at that time.

The incident is part of ongoing exchanges between the US and Iran. As The Zioneer reported on June 10, the IRGC claimed an attack on the Fifth Fleet and warned of 'heavier responses.' The US has conducted strikes on Iranian targets, and on Thursday at 12:03 Jerusalem, Qatar's Prime Minister condemned attacks on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Bahrain's Foreign Minister earlier called for a tighter partnership with the US to counter Iran, as reported by The Zioneer on June 25.

The footage released by Channel 11 has not been independently verified, and its timing and context remain unclear. The US Central Command has not yet responded to the footage or the earlier reports. The extent of any damage to the Fifth Fleet headquarters is also unconfirmed.
