US embassy in Bahrain warns Iran could target central Manama

The U.S. embassy in Bahrain issued a security alert on Monday, warning that the Iranian regime may target "unspecified locations in central Manama." Americans in Bahrain were advised to remain vigilant, follow local authorities' instructions, and review security updates. The embassy cautioned that fragments from intercepted missiles or drones could pose a "significant risk" and urged individuals to "immediately seek cover" if they hear an explosion or sirens. This warning follows Iranian missile and drone attacks in Jordan on Friday, which killed two U.S. service members. The State Department had previously urged Americans worldwide, especially in the Middle East, to exercise increased caution due to heightened regional tensions.
