Bahrain's air defenses intercepted missiles fired from Iran, according to the country's Defense Forces, contradicting earlier US denials of attacks in Bahrain. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed responsibility for striking Amazon's central data infrastructure in Bahrain with cruise missiles, as well as US air defense systems and radar installations in Muharraq and Riffa. The IRGC also asserted responsibility for explosions that caused two tankers to catch fire in the Strait of Hormuz. Furthermore, the IRGC claimed to have targeted and destroyed US military infrastructure in Kuwait, including drone hangars and defense systems at bases like Ali al-Salem. The US military, however, has denied that any attacks occurred in Bahrain. Separately, the Jordanian army reported intercepting five drones launched from Iran. Alarm sirens sounded for a fourth time in Bahrain amid a fresh missile barrage, with residents urged to seek safety. The IRGC stated the attack was carried out in response to what it described as 'yesterday's US military aggression against the under-construction, civilian facilities in Darkhovin.' Iran's mission to international organizations called on the IAEA and UN Security Council to condemn the US attack on the Darkhovin nuclear power plant.
