Iran launched missiles and drones targeting U.S. bases in Bahrain and the Gulf in retaliation for U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iranian military sites, escalating regional tensions.
- On Saturday, Iranian ballistic missiles struck toward Al Dhafra Air Base, south of Abu Dhabi, while explosions and smoke were reported near Bahrain's Juffair, home to the U.S. Fifth Fleet. Iran also launched strikes on Qatar and Kuwait, targeting US forces there.
- Following coordinated U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran earlier on Saturday, Iran's Revolutionary Guard said it launched a `first wave` of drones and missiles targeting Israel in response.
- The U.S. forces evacuated personnel from Al Udeid Air Base, and the U.S. Embassy in Doha advised to shelter in place amid airspace closures by the UAE and Iraq.
- There was no immediate confirmation of casualties from the strikes, while the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen vowed to resume missile and drone attacks on Red Sea shipping and Israel.
- Iran's missiles are capped at a 2,000 km range, and satellite imagery analyzed by The Associated Press shows new activity at two sites Iran has blocked inspectors from visiting after a 12-day war.
