Unverified reports indicate a new wave of Iranian missiles struck the Sheikh Isa Air Base in Bahrain, the Al-Dhafra Air Base in the UAE, and targets in Qatar's capital Doha early Sunday. The UAE Interior Ministry said its air defense systems are engaging the missile threat. No casualties have been reported yet.
A new wave of Iranian missiles struck military targets across the Gulf early Sunday, according to unverified reports from regional channels. The strikes hit the Sheikh Isa Air Base in Bahrain, the Al-Dhafra Air Base in the UAE, and the Qatari capital Doha. The UAE Interior Ministry confirmed its air defense systems are actively engaging the incoming threat.
The reports follow earlier alerts: at 05:50 Jerusalem time, analyst Chananel Aviv reported additional Iranian launches toward US bases in Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and the UAE. Minutes later, N12 correspondent Asaf Rozentsweig reported that the UAE activated its air defense systems in response to an Iranian missile attack. Those reports are part of a broader escalation between Iran and the US in the Gulf region, which has seen multiple waves of missile and drone attacks over the past 48 hours.
Earlier this week, NASA satellite imagery showed a fire near Isa Air Base after a previous Iranian missile attack. The current wave appears to be the most extensive so far, with confirmed impacts across three Gulf states. The extent of damage and any casualties remain unconfirmed, and Iranian state media has not commented on the strikes.
