Iran Launches More Than 40 Airstrikes on Bahrain in Past 24 Hours
MANAMA, Bahrain — Iran launched more than 40 airstrikes on Bahrain in the past 24 hours as of March 28, 2026.
Bahrain's air defenses intercepted at least 20 incoming missiles during the attacks. No deaths or injuries were reported from the strikes.
The incident is part of an escalating month-long war involving Iran, the United States, and Israel that began on February 28, 2026.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards targeted a U.S. military support vessel in the port of Salalah, Oman, in a related action within the ongoing conflict.
Bahrain hosts the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet headquarters, a strategic naval asset in the Gulf region.
These developments heighten risks to Gulf states and global shipping routes amid the broadening confrontation.
