Iran has conducted repeated missile and drone strikes on Bahrain since the start of the 2026 conflict, primarily targeting U.S. military facilities such as the Fifth Fleet headquarters in Manama as retaliation for U.S. and Israeli operations against Iranian targets. Bahrain, which hosts significant American naval assets and participates in regional security frameworks, has intercepted most projectiles while condemning the attacks as violations of sovereignty and international law. Recent developments include a Bahraini crackdown on Shiite clerics and citizens accused of Iran-linked activities, alongside UN Security Council resolutions and GCC statements denouncing Iranian aggression and threats to the Strait of Hormuz. Ongoing ceasefire negotiations and potential U.S. responses remain key variables that could influence further Iranian actions in the coming weeks.
