Iran claims it struck a key US military base in Bahrain, home to the US Navy’s Fifth Fleet. Tehran says its Arash drone force targeted Sheikh Isa Air Base under the latest phase of “Operation Thunder,” calling it retaliation for recent American airstrikes. The US has not confirmed the Iranian claims, while CENTCOM says it has launched strikes on dozens of IRGC targets across southern Iran. With attacks reported in Bahrain, Jordan, and multiple Iranian provinces, fears of a wider regional war continue to grow.
