Iranian sources claim that U.S. military bases in Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates will be severely hit in the coming hours, according to reports. The threat follows an earlier warning issued tonight by Tehran to strike all U.S. bases it says launched attacks on Iran.
Iranian sources have claimed that U.S. military bases in Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates will be 'hit hard' in the coming hours, according to a report circulating on Iranian Telegram channels. The threat narrows the previous warning from Tehran to strike all U.S. bases it says launched attacks on Iran, which The Zioneer reported at 00:06 Jerusalem, and adds a specific short-term timeframe.
The new claim is the latest in a rapid sequence of threats from Iranian sources. At 23:34 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported a cascade of warnings: an Iranian security official told the state-affiliated Mahr agency that Iran would launch a 'powerful attack' on US bases in the region. Minutes later, a military source told Noor News of an imminent 'massive attack', followed by a second military source to Mehr, and a senior Iranian military official threatened to strike all bases that enabled the 'aggression' tonight. The final threat at that time, also at 23:34 Jerusalem, was a blanket warning against all US bases that launched attacks on Iran. At 00:06 Jerusalem, The Zioneer further reported that Iran had threatened to strike all US bases it says launched attacks on Iran.
The threats come against the backdrop of ongoing hostilities. The Zioneer previously reported on satellite imagery showing significant damage to the U.S. Navy base in Bahrain (Fri Jun 26, 13:56 Jerusalem), and on Iranian claims of strikes on US-linked targets and warnings to Gulf states against aiding attacks. The Zioneer also reported on US strikes on Iranian facilities and Iranian opposition videos purporting to show damage to bases.
The current threat remains unverified. It is based on a single report from Iranian Telegram channels, and no independent confirmation of imminent attacks is available. The multiplicity of Iranian sources in the earlier threats does not constitute verification of capability or intent.
