Iranian Airstrike on Bahrain Wounds 32
(New York Times) Raja Abdulrahim - An Iranian drone strike in Sitra, an island near Bahrain's capital, Manama, wounded 32 Bahrainis, four of them seriously, according to Bahraini authorities. The country, a key American ally, hosts the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet and U.S. Naval Forces Central Command. Bahrain's Defense Force said Monday that its air defense systems had destroyed 102 missiles and 171 drones since the start of Iranian attacks on Feb. 28. Iran has hit regional U.S. allies every day since the start of the conflict.
