Manama: Sirens warning of potential aerial threats sounded in Bahrain early on Wednesday amid the latest escalation between the US and Iran. Bahrain's Ministry of Interior issued a statement on X urging citizens and residents to remain calm, seek shelter, and stay informed through official channels to ensure public safety.
According to Deutsche Welle, Bahrain is home to a major US naval base where the 5th Fleet is headquartered and has previously been targeted by Tehran. Meanwhile, Kuwait, another US ally in the Middle East, reported repelling attacks by "hostile" Iranian drones.
