"Bahrain said late on Monday that its air defences had intercepted and destroyed 102 missiles and 173 drones launched as Iranian aggression on the kingdom. In a statement, the General Command of the Bahrain Defence Force described the attack as a sinful Iranian aggression."
"Trump threatened in a post on social media that the US would dramatically increase attacks if Iran tried to close the Strait of Hormuz. In addition to firing missiles and drones at Israeli and US bases in the Gulf region, Iran has been attacking energy infrastructure, which, combined with its stranglehold on the Strait of Hormuz, has sent oil prices soaring."
"A 29-year-old woman was killed and eight people injured when a residential building in Bahrain's capital Manama was hit, the country's Ministry of Interior said on Tuesday. The attack came after Bahrain's Ministry of Health reported on Monday that two people, including several children, were wounded in an Iranian drone attack on the island of Sitra, south of Manama."
Iran conducted coordinated attacks across the Persian Gulf region using missiles and drones targeting multiple countries. Bahrain reported one death and multiple injuries from attacks on residential areas and infrastructure. Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Kuwait intercepted numerous drones and missiles in their respective territories. Qatar also faced attacks during the 24-hour period. US President Trump stated the US-Israeli conflict with Iran would be brief but threatened dramatic escalation if Iran attempts to close the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's attacks targeted both military installations and energy infrastructure, contributing to rising oil prices and regional instability.
