Unverified footage circulating Sunday morning appears to show the US Fifth Fleet command center in Bahrain after it was hit in the Iranian multi-wave attack. Reports also indicate that a power plant in Bahrain has been taken out of service, according to the same unverified claims.
Unverified footage circulating Sunday morning (08:29 Jerusalem time) appears to show the US Fifth Fleet command center in Bahrain after it sustained damage, following a sequence of reports earlier today. The clip adds visual detail to the command facility's condition, after The Zioneer reported at 07:50 Jerusalem an initial unconfirmed claim of damage in Bahrain, followed by documentation of a smoke pillar near the Naval Support Activity base, and then footage of an explosion at the base. At 08:08 Jerusalem, a further bulletin provided additional footage of the explosion. Reports also claim that a power plant in Bahrain has been taken out of service, though the cause and timing are not specified.
The thread began Sunday at 07:50 Jerusalem with three concurrent reports: an unverified claim of damage in Bahrain from an Iranian attack, documentation of a smoke pillar near the US naval base, and footage of an explosion at the base. The earlier multi-wave attack on June 10 was confirmed by visual evidence as The Zioneer reported at 04:37 Jerusalem that day, showing an Iranian missile striking the Naval Support Activity Bahrain. By June 26, satellite imagery and a Wall Street Journal investigation (reported by The Zioneer at 07:52 Jerusalem) revealed damage exceeding $400 million, including hits to the command headquarters and satellite facilities. The new footage is consistent with that damage assessment, though it remains unverified.
As The Zioneer reported on June 10, Iranian missiles struck the Naval Support Activity Bahrain in a multi-wave attack, and the IRGC claimed responsibility, warning of "heavier responses." Subsequent investigations by the Wall Street Journal, covered by The Zioneer on June 26, found that the command HQ and satellite facilities were hit, prompting the Pentagon to consider moving assets to Israel. The new footage and power plant reports have not been independently verified, and it remains unclear whether the power plant outage is directly related to the June 10 attack or a separate incident. No official confirmation from US or Bahraini authorities has been released.
