Sirens were reported in Bahrain early Sunday, according to a single source, as President Trump confirmed a new wave of US strikes on Iranian missile, drone, and coastal radar sites. Trump warned that if the military is forced to complete its mission, the Islamic Republic of Iran would cease to exist.
Sirens were reported in Bahrain at around 02:43 Jerusalem, according to multiple unverified reports initially describing explosions in the area, followed by reports of air defense system activation and drones reaching their target. The alerts came as President Donald Trump, at 01:18 Jerusalem, confirmed US strikes on Iranian missile, drone, and coastal radar sites, accusing Tehran of violating the ceasefire. Trump's subsequent statement at 02:40 Jerusalem warned that the United States may reach a point where restraint is no longer possible, and that completing the military mission would lead to the end of the Islamic Republic of Iran — a threat that escalated in tone from his earlier confirmation.
By 02:43 Jerusalem, The Zioneer's initial bulletin reported explosions in Bahrain based on multiple unverified sources, followed by an update confirming air defense system activation. Two further updates at that same minute — citing Israeli media monitoring of Arab sources — specified that sirens were sounding after drones had reached their destination. The new development in this dispatch adds that the US strikes targeted the specific categories of missile, drone, and coastal radar sites.
As The Zioneer reported earlier on Sunday, this is the second consecutive night of US strikes on Iranian territory, following an Iranian drone attack on an oil tanker near the Strait of Hormuz. The IRGC had earlier claimed it struck several American military targets in the region in retaliation, though the Pentagon denied any US warship was hit.
What remains unclear is what caused the sirens in Bahrain — whether a direct Iranian response, a precautionary civil defense alert, or a separate incident. No casualties or damage have been independently confirmed, and the reports remain unverified by official sources.
