A single report claims that the US Fifth Fleet Naval Support Activity in Bahrain was struck. No details on the extent of the damage or the source of the attack are immediately available.
A new report, published early Thursday morning, claims that the US Fifth Fleet base in Bahrain was hit. The source of the claim has not been independently verified. The report comes amid a history of conflicting assertions regarding the security of the base. In June 2026, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed to have struck the base with drones, while US officials denied any successful hits. Subsequent visual evidence and a Wall Street Journal investigation suggested that the base had indeed suffered significant damage, with the Pentagon reportedly considering relocating assets to Israel. The current report adds a new layer to the ongoing saga, but remains unconfirmed.
