The Iranian regime says it struck the US Sheikh Isa Air Base in Bahrain with drones and missiles, targeting generators, navigation systems, and support structures. The regime claims the attack caused significant damage to US military capabilities in the region. The claim, accompanied by a video, has not been independently verified.
The Iranian regime claimed tonight (Thursday) that it struck the US Sheikh Isa Air Base in Bahrain with drones and missiles, targeting generators, navigation systems, and support structures. The regime released a video purportedly showing the attack and asserted that the strikes caused significant damage to US military capabilities in the region. The claim has not been independently verified by Western or regional sources.
The regime's latest claim, issued at 21:49 Jerusalem time, provides more specific details than earlier reports. At 20:41 Jerusalem time, The Zioneer reported unverified claims of an Iranian drone strike on a military base in Bahrain, followed by reports identifying Sheikh Isa as the target, and later reports describing an ongoing attack. The progression of claims has not been matched by official confirmation from US Central Command, which has not commented.
Sheikh Isa Air Base, a key US military facility in the Gulf, has been a target of Iranian strikes before. As The Zioneer reported on June 12, satellite imagery showed Iranian missiles hitting fuel storage and a new hangar at the base. Previous Iranian strikes have also targeted US bases in Kuwait, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia, as The Zioneer has documented in recent months.
US Central Command has not yet commented on the latest claim. The extent of any damage and the timing of the alleged attack remain unclear. The video released by the regime has not been independently verified, and no confirmation has been received from Bahraini or US authorities.
