Bahrain intercepts 188 missiles and 429 drones since war start

Middle Eastern outlets describe Bahrain as a Gulf state under sustained Iranian missile and drone attack because of its ties to the United States and Israel. They stress the scale of interceptions and the risk to regional infrastructure, including cloud data centres and shipping routes. These reports suggest that unless there is a wider ceasefire involving Iran, the US and Israel, Gulf states like Bahrain will remain exposed to further strikes.

• •Bahrain’s air defences have intercepted 188 missiles and over 400 drones launched from Iran since the war began.
• •Iran’s Revolutionary Guard targeted an Amazon cloud facility in Bahrain because it supports US and Israeli military operations.
• •The attacks on Bahrain are part of Iran’s broader campaign against US and Israeli-linked assets across the region.
• •Gulf digital infrastructure, including data centres and cloud hubs, is now a frontline target in the conflict.
• •Further Iranian strikes on Bahrain are likely if the wider war with the United States and Israel continues.
