The US and Israel continued their strikes on Iran, targeting oil storage depots and refining facilities in Tehran for the first time, sparking large fires across the capital.
Meanwhile, an Iranian drone caused material damage to a water desalination plant in Bahrain, the country’s Interior Ministry reported. The attack follows Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi’s claim that the US bombed a freshwater desalination plant on Qeshm Island in southern Iran, setting a “precedent.”
Following the incidents, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates reported additional Iranian attacks. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian offered an apology and pledged to halt attacks on Gulf states if no strikes originate from their territories.
Authorities continue to monitor the situation, and casualty figures from across the region are being updated.
