Bahrain Downs Seven Iranian Drones Amid Ceasefire
Bahrain's Defense Force confirmed the interception in an official statement, revealing the scale of the ongoing threat: since Iranian attacks first began on Feb. 28, the kingdom's forces have neutralized a staggering 194 missiles and 515 drones in total. Authorities released no information regarding casualties or structural damage from the latest strikes.
The incident deepens concern over a two-week ceasefire that Iran and the US announced Tuesday, intended to create space for a permanent resolution to the war launched by Washington and Tel Aviv against Tehran on Feb. 28 — a conflict that Iran's Forensic Authority says has killed more than 3,000 people.
The truce itself came under an extraordinary shadow from the moment of its announcement — reached less than two hours before a deadline US President Donald Trump had repeatedly pushed back, demanding Iran reopen the Strait of Hormuz and accept a deal or face catastrophic consequences. Trump had warned in stark terms that "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again."
