Iran has fired several drones at a US military base in Bahrain overnight, targeting their air defence radar system in a series of attacks.

The Gulf nation confirmed that it intercepted the Iranian attacks, 'preventing them from reaching their intended targets'.

Blasts and sirens rang out over the gulf nation in the early hours of this morning and authorities urged residents to seek shelter in several alerts posted on social media, without specifying the source of the threat.

The interior ministry in an X post told 'residents to remain calm, proceed to the nearest safe location, and follow news through official channels for the protection of public safety.'

Iran's Revolutionary Guards then confirmed their forces carried out a drone attack on a US radar system at a base in the gulf nation.

Explosions were reportedly heard at around 4.00am (0100 GMT), with a second series of blasts at around 6.30am (0330 GMT).

After a lull in attacks Bahrain, which hosts a major US naval base, has been targeted twice in three days. The energy–rich Gulf has borne the brunt of Iranian strikes during the war.

The attacks come only days after Mossad warned Donald Trump that Iran has plotted to assassinate him with explosive drones.
