The US Embassy in Bahrain said Monday it holds intelligence indicating Iran may attempt to strike unspecified targets in central Manama. The warning specifies the area more precisely than an earlier alert issued by the embassy early Monday.
The US Embassy in Bahrain issued a statement Monday morning, citing intelligence that Iran may attempt to strike unspecified targets in central Manama. The embassy previously warned of a possible attack on the capital early Monday, as The Zioneer reported at 03:01 Jerusalem time, but the latest statement adds the specific area of "central Manama." The warning comes amid heightened regional tensions. The United States has been tracking Iranian missile movements and has repeatedly warned of potential attacks on Gulf states, including Bahrain. As The Zioneer reported on July 19, the US informed Israel of plans to escalate against Iran, raising the possibility of Iranian retaliation. The situation remains fluid, and the embassy's alert urges caution.
