Intelligence reports indicate that additional US HIMARS systems are currently being used from Bahrain toward Iran, following earlier reports of a HIMARS launch from Bahrain toward southern Iran. The reports come amid ongoing US strikes on Iran.
At 02:45 Jerusalem, intelligence sources indicate that additional US HIMARS systems are now being used from Bahrain toward Iran, building on a rapid sequence of reports that began overnight. The latest report follows earlier claims: at 02:26, Iranian sources reported missiles launched from Bahrain toward southern Iran, with explosions in Ahvaz. Shortly after, analyst Yair Goldblatt noted that Arab media linked circulating footage to Bahrain missile launches. At 02:34, Israeli media reported a US HIMARS launch from Bahrain toward southern Iran. At 02:42, Iranian state media claimed Kuwait and Bahrain were actively participating in the US strikes on Iran.
The source quality across the thread evolved from a single unverified Iranian source to multiple Israeli media outlets and Iranian state media, but no official confirmation from US or Gulf officials has been provided. The intelligence report at 02:45, citing sources, marks the latest development in the sequence.
The Zioneer has reported on the broader context of US military activity in the Gulf, including previous Iranian retaliatory strikes on Bahrain and the deployment of Patriot systems. The use of HIMARS from Bahrain represents a significant expansion of the US military footprint in the region amid the ongoing campaign against Iran.
The intelligence claims remain unconfirmed by independent sources, and US or Gulf officials have not commented. The nature and extent of Kuwaiti and Bahraini participation in the strikes also remains unverified.
