Reports indicate that Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Aerospace Force struck a hotel in Manama, Bahrain, where several U.S. Navy personnel and commanders were reportedly staying after relocating from the Fifth Fleet headquarters. The hotel is said to be on fire. There has been no official confirmation of the target, casualties, or damage.
The unverified report, which emerged late Tuesday evening, claims that the IRGC's Aerospace Force struck a hotel in Manama, Bahrain, where U.S. Navy personnel and commanders had relocated from the Fifth Fleet headquarters. The hotel is reportedly on fire, but no official confirmation has been issued by the U.S. military, Bahraini authorities, or Iranian sources. This is the latest in a series of unverified IRGC claims about attacks on U.S. military assets in the Gulf region over the past weeks — including strikes on the Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain, bases in Kuwait, and vessels near the Strait of Hormuz — none of which have been independently corroborated. The status of U.S. personnel and any casualties is unknown at this time.
