Iran inflicted devastation - Sweeping strike in Bahrain eliminated American soldiers - Manama base was reduced to ashes

The United States fatally underestimated Iran and now appears to be paying a heavy price.
The tactic of targeting American objectives in the Gulf states is proving to have incalculable cost for the government of Trump and Israel.
At the same time time does not appear to run in favor of the American Israeli alliance, on the contrary it hardens the defenders.
On 6/3 Iran delivered another decisive blow to the western coalition, with the spokesperson of the Central Headquarters of the Armed Forces of Iran, Khatam al-Anbiya, announcing that dozens of American soldiers were killed during the strike on the American base in Bahrain, according to the news agency Mehr.
“The attack on a military base of the United States in Bahrain resulted in a large number of dead and wounded,” the statement said.

Iranian retaliation for the strike in Minab and Russian intervention

Earlier the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps reported a retaliatory strike for the attack on a girls’ municipal school in Minab of Iran, which cost the lives of more than 100 schoolgirls.
The target of the strike was, according to information, the air base Al Dhafra in the United Arab Emirates.
It should be noted that on 2 March, the President of Russia Vladimir Putin held a series of telephone conversations with leaders of the Middle East, discussing among other things the conflict between the United States, Israel and Iran.
Specifically he spoke with the crown prince of Saudi Arabia Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, the President of the United Arab Emirates Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and the Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.

The United States claims the Iranian attack in Bahrain targeted civilians

Iranian forces launched seven attack drones against residential areas in Bahrain on the evening of Thursday 5/4, stated the head of the US Central Command (CENTCOM) of the American army in the Middle East, Brad Cooper.
In a statement published on social media, Brad Cooper accused Iran of “deliberately” targeting civilians across the Middle East.
“This is unacceptable and will not remain unanswered,” he emphasized.

Iran struck a hotel with US military personnel in Erbil of Iraq - There are dead Americans

A drone attack occurred in the city of Erbil in northern Iraq, when a drone struck a hotel where soldiers of the United States were staying, according to the agency Shafaq.
After the direct strike of the drone a large fire broke out in the building.
Initial information speaks of dead and wounded American soldiers, without so far there being official confirmation for the exact number of victims.
The head of the city confirmed that an unmanned aircraft targeted a hotel in the center of Erbil, causing serious damage.
The attack comes one day after reports that Iran used drones to strike positions of the American army in the region, with sources claiming that the strikes caused significant destruction to the targets.
The situation in the region remains extremely tense, as incidents of attacks against American targets increase, intensifying the risk of further escalation in the Middle East.

Kuwait in flames, Iranians set fire to the US Ali Salem base with drones and valuable equipment was destroyed

The American air base Ali Salem in Kuwait, which was hit by Iranian missiles, has no one to extinguish the fire.
Local contractors abandoned the base due to the high risk of new strikes on military installations of the United States, the IRGC reported on its channel on Telegram.
The strike reportedly caused damage to a fuel storage facility and to warehouses of military equipment.
A projectile that hit a fuel tank caused a fire, which then spread to other buildings.
Earlier it had been reported that the army of the United States lacks adequate defense against Iranian Shahed drones.

According to western media the American army is forced to use the defenses it has available, but this requires additional expenditure.
The US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth stated that the existing air defense systems of the army of the United States operate normally.
He described the occasional Iranian air strikes that escape American air defense as “drops of water”.
Earlier Iran named those responsible for the attack on a boys’ school in Tehran.

This attack is part of the massive Iranian response against American military infrastructure in the countries of the Persian Gulf.
After the strikes in Bahrain, in the United Arab Emirates and in Kuwait, the targeting of the Prince Sultan Air Base, a critical hub for the air operations of the United States in the region, sends a clear message: no base hosting American forces is any longer safe.
Iranian authorities had warned that the attack of 28 February, which struck the heart of the Islamic Republic and caused the death of the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, would ignite a “storm of fire”.
The current strikes aim at the “defanging” of American logistics and the exertion of pressure on the Gulf states to withdraw their support for the government of Donald Trump.

A fourth unmanned aircraft targeted the oil field Rumaila, where the British energy group BP operates.

At the same time the French oil giant TotalEnergies removed its expatriate personnel from projects it implements in Basra. The move followed Iranian attacks in the region after the start of the military campaign of the United States and Israel against Tehran.

Medvedev thunder: Gulf states must uproot US bases, they are a threat not protection

The military bases of the United States located in the countries of the Persian Gulf constitute a threat and not defense, declared the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev, through a post on X.

The Gulf Arab countries let American bases onto their territory. Naively, they expected protection from them. Like hell! The US just uses them, while protecting only one country. Think long and hard about whether you really need US bases – they’re not protection, they’re a threat
