Iran Launches Drone Attack on Bahrain, Al Jazeera Reports
💥 BAHRAIN — Iran just struck the island that hosts the US Fifth Fleet. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Bahrain is not a peripheral target — it is the physical address of US naval command in the Gulf. A confirmed Iranian drone strike drags a GCC sovereign into direct kinetic exchange for the first time, invoking US defense commitments under the 1991 basing agreement. Riyadh and Abu Dhabi now face a choice: mutual defense or neutrality. Every Gulf escalation ladder just moved up one rung.
