Bahrain Alerts as US-Iran Strikes Escalate | Belfast News

Bahrain’s warning sirens blare as incoming fire rattles the region—just days after the U.S. launched its 13th straight night of strikes against Iran, escalating tensions over control of the Strait of Hormuz. Iran reports four dead and nine wounded in the bombardment, while Houthi rebels in Yemen claim responsibility for attacking Saudi tankers, sending oil prices soaring past $100 a barrel. U.S. forces say their latest strikes target Iran’s ability to threaten shipping, as they push to reclaim dominance over the vital oil chokepoint. Meanwhile, Iraq’s PM urges peace in Tehran, vowing Iraqi soil won’t be used for attacks. Explosions rocked Ahvaz, Bandar Abbas, Qeshm Island, and Isfahan—areas packed with military infrastructure. With Houthis now threatening the Bab el-Mandeb Strait too, global trade groans under pressure. President Trump warns of “severe retaliation” if attacks keep coming.
