WATCH: U.S. 5th Fleet Headquarters in Bahrain Hit by Iranian Missile
MANAMA, BAHRAIN — In a massive escalation of the current regional war, the Bahraini Interior Ministry has confirmed that a "foreign missile" has struck the service center of the #US5thFleet headquarters in Juffair. The attack occurred shortly after 3:00 PM local time, sending thick columns of black smoke over the island nation's capital.
Eyewitnesses in the Juffair area reported hearing multiple sonic booms followed by a ground-shaking explosion. "The windows in our office building nearly shattered," one local resident told Reuters. Authorities in Bahrain have activated national emergency sirens and moved all civilians to hardened shelters as the #IranIsraelConflict officially spills over into the Gulf states.

Initial #OSINT data suggests the missile was an Iranian-made medium-range ballistic projectile capable of evading traditional radar. This strike follows #OperationEpicFury, the joint US-Israeli offensive launched earlier this morning. The US Embassy in Bahrain has issued an "Ultra-Urgent" shelter-in-place order for all American personnel.
