A video verified by The New York Times showed ballistic missiles being fired from Bahrain in the direction of Iran, appearing to be the first confirmed attack on the Islamic Republic from a Persian Gulf country since the war began. Bahrain is home to the U.S. Navy’s Fifth Fleet. It was not clear from the video alone whether the U.S. or Bahraini military launched the missile. Defense experts who have viewed the video said at least one of the missiles was launched by U.S.-made equipment. The Bahraini government told The Times that its troops were “not involved in any offensive operations.”
