MANAMA, July 9 (Saudi Arabia Breaking News) - Bahrain said its air defences intercepted and destroyed several Iranian air attacks on Thursday, the country’s military said.
The Bahrain Defence Force said on X that “the deliberate use of missiles and drones to target civilians and private property constitutes a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law.”
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps earlier said it had targeted U.S. military bases in Kuwait and Bahrain in response to the latest wave of U.S. strikes, according to a statement published by Iranian state broadcaster IRIB.
The IRGC said it targeted Bahrain’s Shaikh Isa Air Base and the Juffair district.
Juffair is home to Naval Support Activity Bahrain, the primary U.S. Navy base in the Persian Gulf and headquarters of the U.S. Fifth Fleet.
