Just after 04:00 Jerusalem time on Thursday, unverified reports indicated sirens sounding in Bahrain and Kuwait. The alerts come roughly 25 minutes after The Zioneer reported at 03:36 Jerusalem that Iran had launched ballistic missiles toward US military bases in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Qatar, according to Iranian reports. The sirens follow the earlier US strikes on Iran, which were carried out hours before.
At 03:36 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that Iranian ballistic missiles were launched toward US bases in those three Gulf states, based on Iranian security reports. Earlier, at the same timestamp, a separate report noted missiles also toward Qatar and Bahrain. The reports remain unverified; no official confirmation of interceptions or impacts has been issued.
The Zioneer has previously documented multiple instances of sirens and aerial threats across Gulf states during the current escalation between Washington and Tehran, including in Bahrain and Kuwait (reported Jun 10, Jun 11, and other dates).
The source of the Thursday morning sirens and whether any defensive measures were taken has not been confirmed. No immediate details on the nature of the threat are available.
