Unverified reports indicate that Iran launched several cruise missiles targeting US ships off the coast of Bahrain. No details on interceptions or damage are yet available.
Unverified reports circulating at 14:06 Jerusalem time claim that Iran launched several cruise missiles targeting US ships off the coast of Bahrain. The reports, attributed to a security-oriented channel, specify cruise missiles but do not identify the number of missiles or the vessels involved. No interceptions or damage have been reported. This latest report follows a series of unverified claims that emerged from the same channel earlier today.
At 03:50 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported sirens in Bahrain and Kuwait hours after US strikes on Iran. Within minutes, a single report claimed a direct hit on the US Fifth Fleet Naval Support Activity in Bahrain. The desk then refined the report, noting the strike occurred near the base, not on it. Subsequent versions included footage allegedly showing multiple impacts, and later, Channel 11 released footage purportedly showing the moment of an IRGC attack on the headquarters. By 03:50, the channel claimed at least one missile struck the base without interception. All of these reports rely on a single security channel and remain unverified.
As The Zioneer reported on June 11 (01:53 Jerusalem), Iran has continued cruise missile launches toward US warships in the Strait of Hormuz. Similar patterns of unverified claims have surfaced in recent days, including reports of ballistic missiles fired at US bases in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Qatar (published at 03:43 Jerusalem). The current report extends the pattern to cruise missiles targeting US ships off Bahrain, but the source and details remain unchanged.
The key open questions are: whether the launch actually occurred, whether any missiles were intercepted or struck their targets, and which US vessels were involved. Earlier claims of a direct hit on the Fifth Fleet base have not been independently confirmed. No official US or Bahraini statement has been issued as of this bulletin.
