Several Gulf countries, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, have strongly condemned Iran's drone strikes on the island nation of Bahrain on June 27, 2026. The attacks targeted unspecified locations, and no casualties have been reported as of June 28, 2026.
In a joint statement, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) expressed solidarity with Bahrain and vowed to stand united against any future aggression from Tehran. The strikes come amid ongoing peace talks between regional powers, though details of the negotiations remain unclear.
Iran has not officially commented on the allegations. The incident marks a significant escalation in tensions, as Bahrain hosts the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet. International observers have called for restraint to avoid further destabilization.
