Summary
Bahrain said Friday its air defenses intercepted and destroyed several Iranian aerial attacks, accusing Tehran of continuing a campaign aimed at civilians in the kingdom.
The interceptions followed Iran’s earlier claims that it had launched drone strikes at U.S. military facilities in Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait and Iraq in retaliation for recent U.S. attacks on Iran.
Jordan previously reported downing seven missiles and six drones, while Kurdish forces in Iraq said five drones were intercepted over Erbil, underscoring how the confrontation is spilling across multiple Gulf states.
The latest Bahrain incident points to a sustained aerial threat tied to the broader Iran-U.S. conflict, raising the risk of further military escalation or retaliatory moves in the region.
