Bahrain activated its sirens Friday, warning residents to shelter from detected fire hours after the US military said it had wrapped up its 13th night of strikes against Iran.
The Gulf states have come under frequent fire over the past week as the US and Iran exchange escalating strikes in fighting that began with a struggle over control of the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
Iran’s army says it attacked US military facilities at Jordan’s Al-Azraq base and Bahrain’s Sheikh Isa air base, state media reported.
State media also reported on Friday that the United States had struck a Revolutionary Guards’ base in the northern province of Gilan.
“This morning, an IRGC naval forces headquarters in Zibakenar was targeted by American enemy projectiles, which damaged some of the equipment in the complex,” said Ali Bagheri, deputy governor for the province, quoted by the official IRNA news agency.
The previous day, Yemen’s Houthis said they targeted two Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea, potentially widening the Iran war as international oil topped $100 a barrel.
