@Middle_East_Spectator

— 🇮🇷/🇧🇭/🇺🇸 NEW: In a statement, the IRGC claims it attacked the U.S. 5th Fleet in Bahrain at 02:30 AM (about two hours ago) with drones

In a separate statement, Iran’s Khatam Al-Anbiyaa Central HQ also claimed U.S. bases in the region were attacked, and that if U.S. strikes continue, a ‘harsher response’ will follow.

Very strangely, there is so far no evidence for both of these claims, no alarms sounded anywhere in the Gulf.

@Middle_East_Spectator

Something isn’t adding up.

It’s likely that drones were indeed launched at Bahrain but intercepted before any alarms could sound.

If that’s the case, that’s probably only a small part of the response—so I expect something more in the coming hours.
