At the **American naval base — the headquarters of the Fifth Fleet of the U.S. Navy in Manama (Bahrain), ballistic missiles were launched from Iran. This occurred against the backdrop of regional escalation provoked by U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran. 
• Explosions were heard, smoke was rising over the base, air defense systems and sirens were activated. 
• Bahraini military claim that some missiles were intercepted by their air defense systems.
 This attack is part of a broader wave of Iranian missile and drone strikes against U.S. and allied facilities in the Persian Gulf, including Qatar, Kuwait, and the UAE.
