Several Iranian media outlets are claiming that Bahrain also carried out attacks alongside the United States, according to Israeli security analyst Yair Goldblatt. The claims are unverified by independent sources.
At 00:45 Jerusalem, Iranian media outlets—cited by Israeli security analyst Yair Goldblatt—claimed that Bahrain participated in the U.S. strikes on Iran. The claim echoes an earlier report from Saudi outlet AlArabiya, which at 00:38 Jerusalem said Bahrain joined the attacks, and which also carried a warning from President Trump that if Iranian ship attacks continue, the U.S. response will be 'much harsher.' The Iranian media claim adds a domestic source to the same allegation, but remains unverified.
The night's sequence began at 00:07 Jerusalem, when Iranian outlets alleged Israeli involvement in the strikes (The Zioneer, 00:07). At 00:25, Iranian state media reported new U.S. strikes along the coast (The Zioneer, 00:25). At 00:38, AlArabiya reported Bahrain's participation and Trump's warning (The Zioneer, 00:38). The AlArabiya report was based on a single source and has not been independently confirmed.
The claims emerge against the backdrop of an ongoing U.S. campaign against Iranian military infrastructure, as The Zioneer has reported. In recent weeks, Iran warned Gulf states against aiding attacks (The Zioneer, June 27), and analyst Goldblatt assessed that Gulf states that backed anti-Iran efforts face retribution (The Zioneer, June 15). The pattern of Iranian media attributing strikes to multiple actors follows a familiar narrative strategy during the current campaign.
All claims of Bahraini participation remain unverified. No independent confirmation or official statement from Bahrain, the United States, or Iran has been reported. The earlier allegation of Israeli involvement also remains unconfirmed.
