RIYADH, March 6, 2026 (Saudi Arabia Breaking News) — Iranian forces launched seven attack drones targeting civilian residential areas in Bahrain on Thursday night, U.S. Central Command commander Adm. Brad Cooper said on Friday.


Cooper said the drones were directed at neighborhoods in the kingdom.


The U.S. commander added that Iran has launched attacks against 12 different countries since U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran began.


He described the attacks as unacceptable and warned that they would not go unanswered.
