A new report claims to show footage of an Iranian Shahed drone striking a US base in Bahrain, with local Shia residents cheering the hit. The footage has not been independently verified. The report also assesses that Iran will not relent until it conquers the kingdom, citing Bahrain's Shia majority and Sunni monarchy.
New footage that emerged Tuesday night (23:39 Jerusalem) shows local Shia residents cheering as an Iranian Shahed drone purportedly strikes a US base in Bahrain. The footage adds to earlier reports: The Zioneer first reported at 22:11 Jerusalem on a video circulating online that appeared to show an Iranian drone hitting a US base, unverified. At 22:17 Jerusalem, a second report featured new footage purportedly showing the strike itself. The current clip identifies the drone as a Shahed model and the photographers as local Shia cheering the hit. The report also includes an assessment that Iran aims to conquer Bahrain, citing the country's Shia majority and Sunni monarchy. All footage remains unverified, and the source quality has not evolved beyond single-channel reporting.
Earlier reports in The Zioneer's coverage of strikes on US bases in Bahrain include: satellite imagery on Fri Jun 26 (13:56 Jerusalem) that suggested significant damage to the US Navy base from Iranian strikes, and NASA imagery on Thu Jun 11 (09:38 Jerusalem) showing a fire near Isa Air Base after an Iranian missile attack. On Sun Jun 28 (02:54 Jerusalem), drones struck Isa Air Base, with the identity of the attackers and extent of damage unconfirmed. These reports relied on single sources and have not been independently corroborated.
The extent of damage or casualties from tonight's reported drone strike remains unclear. The assessment that Iran will not relent until it conquers Bahrain is a claim in the report and has not been independently verified. The footage's authenticity and the number of casualties, if any, are not yet known.
