Bahraini authorities announced that air defense systems have intercepted Iranian attacks in a rapidly unfolding security situation, with warning sirens activated across several areas as a precautionary measure to address potential threats and ensure public safety.

Earlier, Bahrain’s Ministry of Interior urged citizens and residents to remain calm and immediately move to the nearest safe location, while following updates only through official channels, emphasizing that the sirens were part of preventive security procedures.

In a related development, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard stated that it had targeted a military base in Jordan, highlighting a widening scope of regional tensions and the involvement of additional fronts in the ongoing escalation.

This comes after the United States military announced a new round of strikes against Iran, following an attack on a container ship transiting the Strait of Hormuz, with US Central Command confirming that this marks the third wave of strikes within a single week.

US officials reported that the Iranian attack caused significant damage to the vessel, including a fire in the engine room and the loss of a civilian crew member, while Iranian media indicated explosions in multiple cities, reflecting the intensifying and fast-moving developments across the region.
