New satellite imagery analyzed by independent researchers indicates that Iranian missiles struck fuel bladders and a newly-built hangar at Sheikh Isa Air Base in Bahrain, according to a desk-reviewed report. The impacts appear to have occurred during targeting in the past 48 hours, the report claims. The extent of damage and any casualties have not been independently confirmed.
The latest satellite imagery of Sheikh Isa Air Base in southern Bahrain shows two new categories of impact beyond what The Zioneer reported earlier: Iranian missiles hit fuel bladder storage (used for aircraft fuel) and a hangar newly built in 2025, according to a desk-reviewed report citing researcher MenchOsint. This follows The Zioneer's earlier coverage of the June 3 and June 11 strikes on the base's fuel system, which destroyed at least four Fuel System Supply Points as the thread developed.
The base's fuel infrastructure has been a recurring target in Iran's campaign against US and allied positions in the Gulf. The previous strikes hit FSSP equipment and, earlier, a larger fire near the base was recorded by NASA satellite imagery. The hangar, identified as a 2025 construction, is a new type of target at this facility, suggesting Iran is expanding the range of assets it tracks and engages.
It remains unconfirmed whether the fuel bladder storage is distinct from the previously-hit FSSP equipment, and no damage assessment or casualty data has been released by Bahraini, US, or allied military sources. A desk-reviewed report, relying on non-public satellite imagery, has not been independently corroborated by open-source or official sources as of 21:38 Jerusalem.
