Iran ramped up strikes in Bahrain early Sunday morning, carrying out a six-drone attack on a U.S. airbase.
Bahrain said it had intercepted “several aerial attacks” before they hit their targets. Iran, meanwhile, claimed it had struck a base.
This comes two days after Iran reported it had attacked a U.S. early-warning radar facility also in Bahrain, but the U.S. military denied it, saying it had intercepted the drones without damage.
The Gulf kingdom had not been struck by Iran since a blitz in September. U.S. Navy Secretary Hung Cao at the time said that the Iranian military “blew the hell” out of it.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said that Sunday’s strikes were in retaliation for “hostile US actions,” Iran’s Fars News Agency reported.

With targeting info helpfully supplied by Russia, Iran’s “best buddy”
Iran has been begging for a deal since June. Their only demands are that the U.S. and Israel should just leave them alone and go away.
I got friends, former co-workers, over there. God I pray and hope they are safe.
Who gave Ukraine the targeting information to sink the Moskva?
I guess this in NOT provocation!…..rolling eyes here
It seems like they provoke us almost everyday.
I mean, obviously, if you have a US Senator with deep state and military connections celebrating US assistance to Ukraine as a great opportunity to "kill Russians", and when your envoys say one thing while your conduct says the opposite, what do you THINK is going to happen when the chance for payback shows up?
We need to decimate them. Period. If we just leave this now it will be a disaster. They will be emboldened and it will be a great recruitment tool for those POS.
Find a few of the entrances to their underground hiding places, and drop bombs in them that will create a detectable signal at all the other entrances etc. that are linked to that underground facility. Then target them all. I would be very, very surprised if this is something we can’t do easily. There also have to be chemical reactions that can be elicited from within these facilities that will neutralize armies etc. in them.
Of course they do.
Their trap is set, they have their warplan which they obviously believe has a great chance of success (and I agree that it does), Trump knows the risk he's taking by re-opening hostilities which is why he hasn't done it - what's hard to understand?
This is the kind of foreign policy “expertise” around here that will guarantee no Republican gets elected above the office of dogcatcher for a generation.
It appears the ‘Midterm Massacre’ of about 2 weeks ago has already guaranteed there will not be another conservative justice appointed to the Supreme Court for almost a generation…..sigh.
A bit surprised we do not have a radar ballistic capability of determining launch point and immediately flattening it.
Counter battery artillery has been around for decades.
“Payback” ?
So you admit that Russia is an enemy of the US, not a friend?
FYI….we have satellite capability of determining any and all launch points.
There you go with that “So…” nonsense again. 🙄

(Russia’s no friend to the U.S., but neither is Ukraine.)
If you have a better idea, I am more than willing to listen to it and consider it. We’ve been through many administrations since the 1979 revolution in Iran, and we’ve done nothing to stop them from projecting hatred and violence.
The bad news is we cannot afford to be a world power—only a regional one.
The US is broke and turning into a third world wasteland.
Foreign policy cannot fix that critical reality.
That is not immediate and actionable intelligence unless every single one is destroyed. Many are probably not in use for these current attacks?
Sure, they are not our friends, but Russia has 1,800 nuclear warheads targeting all of our cities which makes them our enemy.
