Israel Hits Military Sites Across Iran as Gulf States Report Fresh Iranian Strikes

Regional diplomacy focuses on de‑escalation through Saudi back‑channels under broad international condemnation.

Overview

  • Bahrain reported an Iranian strike on a facility near Mina Salman with firefighters on scene, and said its air defenses have intercepted 92 missiles and 151 drones since the attacks began.
  • Qatar’s defense ministry said Iran fired 12 missiles on Saturday, noting six ballistic missiles were intercepted, two fell in territorial waters, and two landed in an uninhabited area with no casualties.
  • Saudi Arabia announced the downing of multiple Iranian drones east of Riyadh, confirmed a ballistic missile fell in an uninhabited area near Prince Sultan Air Base, and continues outreach to Tehran through back‑channels reported by Bloomberg.
  • Israel said it conducted new strikes on Iranian military infrastructure across the country, as its air defenses intercepted waves of missiles launched from Iran that triggered nationwide alerts.
  • Iran’s interim president, Massoud Bezhikian, apologized for strikes on neighbors before alleging his comments were twisted, exposing rifts with hardliners as analysts point to Tehran’s activation of a decentralized “mosaic” defense doctrine.
