WATCH: Iranian Missiles Level Portions of U.S. Navy Base in Bahrain
Bahrain's National Communication Centre confirms "Direct Hit" on 5th Fleet Service Center. Footage shows widespread structural failure and massive fires.
MANAMA, BAHRAIN — The epicenter of the U.S. naval presence in the Middle East has suffered a devastating blow. Verified footage from the Juffair district shows the moment multiple Iranian ballistic missiles bypassed regional defenses to strike the #US5thFleet headquarters. At least three major structures within the service center have reportedly suffered a near-total collapse.
The strike is part of a massive retaliatory wave launched by the #IRGC following the joint U.S.-Israeli #OperationEpicFury earlier this morning. While the U.S. Navy has yet to release an official casualty count, local witnesses described the explosions as "earth-shaking," with smoke plumes visible from across the island.

As #Tehran claims responsibility for the strikes, the conflict has widened to include #AlDhafra in the UAE and #AlUdeid in Qatar. President #Trump has characterized the ongoing strikes as "the most significant combat operations in decades," warning that the U.S. will "annihilate" the forces responsible for this breach.
