## Key points

- Bahrain issued its first threat alerts since September.
- Iran claimed six drones targeted a US radar.
- Saudi Arabia reported intercepting Houthi missiles and drones.

## Summary

Bahrain issued two alerts warning of potential threats on Sunday, its first such warnings since September, after Iran said it had attacked a US base in the country. The claims come amid uncertain efforts to secure a deal to end a war now nearing its ninth month, raising concern about renewed attacks across the Gulf.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said they launched six drones at an air-defence radar at Bahrain’s Al-Rifaa helicopter base, but there was no immediate confirmation from US or Bahraini authorities. Bahrain, which hosts the US Navy’s Fifth Fleet, urged people to stay calm and move to safety. Two days earlier, the US said it had intercepted two Iranian drones without damage, disputing an earlier Iranian claim of an attack on a warning radar. Separately, Saudi-led coalition forces said they intercepted two Houthi missiles aimed at Riyadh and three drones in eastern Saudi Arabia.
