Iranian media has reported that Iran had attacked the US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain, after US strikes on its territory, AFP reports.

“In this wave of army drone strikes, communication antennas and radar facilities of the Patriot system of the 5th Fleet were targeted,” the Mehr and Fars news agencies posted on Telegram.

An air raid alert was issued in Bahrain and residents have been urged to “remain calm and head to the nearest safe place” the Gulf country’s interior ministry said on X.
