The Saudi news network Al-Arabiya reported Thursday, citing unnamed sources, that Bahrain also participated in attacks on Iran. The report is unverified and has not been independently corroborated.
At 00:46 Jerusalem, Saudi news network Al-Arabiya, relayed by Israeli analyst Chananel Aviv, reported that Bahrain also carried out attacks on Iran. The timing, scale, and targets of the alleged strikes were not specified. The report comes less than an hour after The Zioneer's initial coverage of Al-Arabiya's claim that Bahrain participated in US strikes on Iran, published at 00:38 Jerusalem, which was followed by a separate report of Iranian media making similar claims through analyst Yair Goldblatt at the same timestamp.
The thread opened at 00:38 Jerusalem with Al-Arabiya's first report (version 1), followed immediately by a version incorporating a warning from US President Donald Trump (version 2), and a third version citing Iranian media claims of Bahraini participation via security analyst Yair Goldblatt (version 3). All three reports were published at 00:38 Jerusalem, and all rely on single, unnamed sources without independent verification. The current report from Al-Arabiya, while reiterating the Bahraini involvement, does not clarify whether the attacks were part of the US strikes or separate operations.
As The Zioneer has reported in recent days, the conflict has expanded regionally: Saudi Arabia condemned Iranian strikes on Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait on June 11; pro-Iranian channels claimed a strike on a US air base in Saudi Arabia on June 8; and reports of Israeli strikes on Shiraz airport circulated on June 8. The Bahraini claim, if true, would mark a significant escalation, but it remains unconfirmed.
The report remains unverified and based on a single source. No official confirmation from Bahrain, the United States, or any other party has been received. The nature of the alleged Bahraini attacks—whether aerial, naval, or cyber—is unknown. The Zioneer will continue to monitor and update as more information becomes available.
