Iran targets US military base in Bahrain with drone attack
Bahrain said it intercepted several Iranian aerial attacks after the IRGC claimed six drones targeted a US radar site.
- On Sunday, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed it launched six drones targeting a U.S. radar system at the Al-Riffa helicopter base in Bahrain, though Bahraini air defenses stated they intercepted the attacks before impact.
- Tehran justified the strike as retaliation for "hostile US actions," continuing a regional conflict that began with U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran on February 28, 2026.
- Bahrain, which hosts the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet, has been targeted twice in three days; the interior ministry urged residents to "remain calm, proceed to the nearest safe location, and follow news through official channels."
- On another front, the Saudi-led coalition reported intercepting two Houthi ballistic missiles launched toward Riyadh and three drones in the kingdom's oil-rich Eastern Province on Sunday.
- Diplomatic efforts to end the nine-month conflict remain stalled, as President Donald Trump indicated he might avoid attacking Iran if Tehran ceases provocations while maintaining a U.S. naval blockade.
