Manama, Bahrain – Iranian forces launched seven attack drones targeting civilian residential neighborhoods in Bahrain on Thursday evening, according to a statement from U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM). The attack raises fresh concerns about escalating regional tensions and the deliberate targeting of civilians.
CENTCOM first noted the incident on X, formerly known as Twitter, stating the drones were fired “last night.” https://x.com/CENTCOM/status/2029960748542071300
The attack comes amid a broader pattern of Iranian aggression, with CENTCOM Commander recently reporting that Iran has attacked 12 countries. U.S. officials have warned Iran against such actions, particularly those endangering innocent people.
“These attacks are unacceptable and demonstrate a clear disregard for international norms,” a U.S. official stated, according to reporting by the Wall Street Journal. “We will continue to work with our partners to deter further aggression and protect regional stability.”
The situation is being closely monitored by international observers, with the International Crisis Group providing ongoing analysis of the Bahraini political landscape. https://www.crisisgroup.org/bahrain
