Iran conducted missile and drone strikes on US military positions in Bahrain and Iraq early Wednesday, according to The Zioneer. The attack followed US President Donald Trump’s statement that he is not pursuing a new agreement with Iran. The Houthi movement in Yemen expressed support for Tehran and warned US allies.
Early this morning (Wednesday), Iran launched a further wave of missile and drone strikes targeting US military positions in Bahrain and Iraq, expanding the scope of its retaliatory operations. The attack follows initial barrages reported by The Zioneer at 06:15 Jerusalem, which struck Kuwait, Bahrain, Jordan, and the Kurdish region of northern Iraq. The earlier wave included a confirmed hit on the US base at Erbil International Airport, verified via footage and NASA satellite data.
The Zioneer reported at 06:15 Jerusalem that Iran launched attacks on Bahrain and Kuwait overnight, and confirmed the Erbil hit. By that time, the Houthi movement in Yemen had expressed support for Tehran and warned US allies. These developments came after US President Donald Trump stated he is not pursuing a new agreement with Iran, signaling a hardened US stance following earlier diplomatic efforts that faltered.
As The Zioneer reported in the weeks prior, the region has witnessed repeated rounds of US strikes on Iranian military assets and Iranian retaliatory barrages against US allies in the Gulf. The Houthi endorsement raises concerns about a wider conflict that could include Red Sea shipping lanes.
Damage assessments from the latest strikes remain unconfirmed, and no casualty figures have been reported. It is not yet clear whether this wave marks a distinct phase in the Iranian response or a continuation of the 06:15 barrage.
