Air sirens were activated in Bahrain on Wednesday, the interior ministry said, after US strikes on dozens of targets in Iran further shook efforts to end the Middle East war. "The siren has been sounded," the ministry said on X, before later announcing that defense had intercepted hostile rocket fire. "Citizens and residents are urged to remain calm and head to the nearest safe place." Qatar, meanwhile, raised the security threat level, urging people to remain home and stay clear of windows and open spaces for their safety, Kuwait’s military said Wednesday its air defenses are engaged to intercept incoming rocket and drone attacks after the United States launched airstrikes targeting Iran. The Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) later announced that it launched attacks against US military bases in Bahrain and Kuwait in retaliation to the latest American strikes against it. The IRGC said it had struck "key infrastructure and facilities" at US bases in Arifjan and Ali Al Salem in Kuwait, and Juffair and Sheikh Isa in Bahrain.
