New York Times: First Strike on Iran from Gulf State – Missiles Fired from US Launcher in Bahrain (video)

The New York Times has published a video allegedly showing the first confirmed attack on Iran from a Gulf state since the start of the war. The video shows ballistic missiles being launched from Bahrain. It is unclear whether the missiles were fired by the US or Bahraini armed forces, however, defense experts report that at least one missile was launched from US equipment (M142 HIMARS). The Bahraini government denies any involvement in offensive operations, while the Pentagon has not commented on the video. This move comes during a period of tension, with Iran having launched thousands of missiles and drones at Gulf countries, accusing them of cooperating with the US.
