America calls on its citizens in Bahrain to be cautious amid possible attacks

On Monday, the US Embassy in the Bahraini capital, Manama, called on American citizens to exercise “utmost caution and caution,” at a time when the Gulf country was subjected to new Iranian attacks. In its statement, the embassy pointed to the increasing risk of attacks by the Iranian-backed Yemeni Houthi group, and Iran's efforts to target US government officials and facilities in the region.

The embassy also warned of the possibility of canceling flights, closing airspace, or other travel disruptions, stressing at the same time that it continues to operate normally. On Sunday morning, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard announced that it had targeted American military defense radars at a helicopter base in Bahrain, which it said was located at the “Riffa” air base of the Bahraini army.

The Revolutionary Guard stated, in a statement carried by the official Iranian Press TV channel, that 6 drones hit American radars at the base, in response to what it described as American “aggression,” the nature of which was not specified. On the other hand, the Bahrain Defense Force said that it "intercepted and destroyed" several Iranian attacks before they could hit targets inside the country.

This is the first time that Bahrain has issued a statement of this kind since September 2. At dawn on Sunday, the Bahraini Ministry of Interior issued two “danger” warnings, calling on residents to head to safe places.
