Iran Strikes Back: Black Smoke Engulfs US Navy’s 5th Fleet HQ

Reports say Iran launched retaliatory strikes near key U.S. military facilities in Bahrain after a major U.S.-Israeli operation targeting Iranian sites. Bahraini officials confirmed an impact near Naval Support Activity Bahrain in Manama, though early reports did not confirm U.S. casualties.

The incident has raised fears of wider regional escalation, with embassies issuing safety advisories and oil markets reacting to the heightened tensions. The situation remains fluid as officials assess the damage and monitor possible next steps.
