Tensions in the Gulf escalated sharply after Bahrain condemned what it called a “blatant aggression” by Iran following the launch of seven ballistic missiles toward Bahrain and Kuwait. According to the US Central Command (CENTCOM), six missiles were intercepted while the seventh failed to reach its target, with no reported casualties among US personnel. The missile launches came hours after US forces shot down four Iranian drones near the Strait of Hormuz and carried out strikes on Iranian radar sites. Bahrain urged Tehran to halt attacks and embrace diplomacy, warning that regional security cannot be built through missiles and drones.
