Iran launches 30 drones at U.S. military base in Bahrain, sea mine plot foiled

Iranian state media reported that the drones targeted the U.S. Navy’s Naval Support Activity in Bahrain, a key logistical hub for American forces in the Middle East. The attack, which involved multiple drone strikes, caused minor damage but no casualties. The U.S. military confirmed the incident but did not specify the extent of the damage or the number of drones involved. Separately, U.S. intelligence intercepted a plot to deploy sea mines in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical maritime chokepoint. The operation was foiled through a joint U.S.-British naval operation that disrupted the mine-laying vessels. Tehran has not commented on the mine plot, while Washington has not confirmed or denied the details of the operation.
