Iranian Forces State Assault on American Facility in Bahrain, During Regional Counterattacks.
Tehran reports attacking a US naval base in Bahrain, as the country executed operations across the region in response for a large-scale and continuing offensive against it by the US and Israel.
Large columns of dark smoke were observed billowing from an vicinity close to the command center of the US Navy's Fifth Fleet in Bahrain's capital, Manama. The extent of any damage is unclear and the US has yet to issue a statement.
Regional Interceptions
In other parts of the Middle East, the UAE, Qatar and Kuwait - all home to US military bases - reported they have engaged and destroyed missiles in their air space.
In Doha, the Qatari Ministry of Defence said it had intercepted a number of projectiles apparently targeting the al-Udeid air base, the largest American base in the region.
IRGC Statement
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard declared it was attacking American facilities and interests as part of military campaign "Truthful Promise 4", in response for the attack on Iran initiated by the US and Israel on Saturday.
