— 🇮🇷/🇧🇭/🇺🇸 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.

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.

If these were targeting the Gulf, alerts should have sounded by now.

If these were targeting the Gulf, alerts should have sounded by now.
— UPDATE: The reason alerts in the Gulf took so long, is because the target was actually Jordan

The initial 4 missiles launched from Khomein were aimed at Jordan and arrived more than 40+ minutes ago.

Muwaffaq Salti Airbase is in eastern Jordan, somewhat remote, so no sirens sounded—explaining the delay in reporting.

Attack on Bahrain came afterwards.
