Air raid sirens sounded across Bahrain for the fourth time on Tuesday as military exchanges between Iran and the United States continued to escalate across the Middle East.
In a statement posted on X, Bahrain’s Interior Ministry urged the public to remain vigilant.
“Citizens and residents are urged to remain calm and head to the nearest safe place,” the ministry said.
Earlier on Tuesday, the Bahrain Defence Force announced that its air defence systems had intercepted and destroyed several “treacherous Iranian aerial attacks.”
The latest alert comes amid intensifying hostilities linked to the Strait of Hormuz, where Iran and the United States have exchanged strikes despite a Pakistan-mediated Memorandum of Understanding intended to end the conflict and pave the way for a lasting peace agreement.
The renewed attacks have heightened security concerns across the Gulf, with regional governments remaining on high alert as diplomatic efforts continue.
