Sirens blared in Bahrain as Iranian drones reportedly struck the headquarters of the US Fifth Fleet
The Iranian military has attacked US bases in multiple Gulf states, and warned locals to keep their distance from “US terrorist army forces” in anticipation of more strikes. The attacks came immediately after US forces bombed the Iranian cities of Ahvaz, Khorramabad, and Jask.
Sirens sounded twice in Bahrain on Friday morning, as two waves of attacks targeted Sheikh Isa Air Base and Naval Support Activity Bahrain, the headquarters of the US Navy’s Fifth Fleet.
“This morning, the fuel tanks, large equipment warehouses and silos, and the barracks of the US terrorist army forces at the Isa Air Base in Bahrain were targeted by Arash kamikaze drones,” the Iranian Army said in a statement broadcast on Iranian state media. In a separate statement, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said that it had damaged an observation tower at Naval Support Activity Bahrain.
Both facilities have come under Iranian attack on multiple occasions since the US-Israeli war on Iran began in February. Footage shared on social media showed plumes of smoke rising from the area of the naval base after the second round of sirens sounded.
The Iranian army also confirmed striking Camp Buehring, Camp Doha and Camp Arifjan in Kuwait, as well as “aircraft hangars, aviation maintenance hangars and a barracks” at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan. The IRGC said that it inflicted casualties on American personnel in an attack on Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait.
Iranian-linked forces also attacked a base hosting US personnel in Erbil, Iraq, according to the Associated Press.
