Footage attributed to Iran's military shows a strike on an oil refinery in Manama, Bahrain, according to an unverified report. The clip has not been independently confirmed. The reported strike would mark a significant escalation in the Gulf conflict.
New footage attributed to Iran's military purports to show the strike on an oil refinery in Manama, Bahrain, that was reported earlier this morning. The clip, which has not been independently verified, arrives hours after initial reports of a missile attack on the Sitra Industrial Zone and a fire at the BAPCO oil refinery that was contained by 06:55 Jerusalem time.
At 06:55 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that Iranian missiles and UAVs struck a target in the Sitra Industrial Zone, with smoke photographed rising from the area. A second bulletin at the same time said a fire at the BAPCO oil refinery, following an Iranian missile strike, had been contained and operations resumed. The reports were based on unconfirmed claims. The new footage, attributed to Iran's military, now provides visual documentation of the refinery strike, though the source and veracity of the clip remain unconfirmed.
As The Zioneer has reported, Iran and the United States have been engaged in a prolonged exchange of strikes across the Gulf region. Over the past month, Iran has targeted US bases in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan, while the US has conducted multiple strikes on Iranian military infrastructure. The Zioneer has previously reported on visual confirmation of an Iranian missile striking the US Fifth Fleet base in Bahrain and satellite imagery from NASA showing a fire near Isa Air Base after an Iranian attack.
The footage has not been independently verified. There is no confirmation from Bahraini or US officials, and no details on casualties or damage to the refinery have been reported.
