Iran has reportedly targeted the headquarters of the United States Fifth Fleet in Manama, Bahrain, in one of the most dramatic escalations of the ongoing war. Iranian media claimed that 21 U.S. soldiers were killed after missiles and Shahed-136 drone strikes hit the base in the Juffair District, though the claim has not been independently verified. The strategic naval headquarters oversees security across the Persian Gulf and the vital Strait of Hormuz, making the attack a major flashpoint in the widening Iran–U.S.–Israel conflict.
