 (shared on February 28, 2026) features verified footage of an Iranian ballistic missile striking the headquarters area of the US Navy's 5th Fleet at Naval Support Activity (NSA) Bahrain.The video shows the dramatic moment of impact near the base in Manama/Juffair, with a large explosion followed by a rising plume of smoke. The account geolocated it approximately to coordinates around 26.207711, 50.614555, pointing to a storage/warehouse section close to the main 5th Fleet facilities.This appears to be part of Iran's broader retaliatory missile strikes across the region (including targets in Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, UAE, and possibly Jordan), following US and Israeli preemptive airstrikes on Iranian military and regime targets earlier that day — dubbed "Operation Epic Fury" in some reports.Key details from open sources and related posts:Bahrain's government and news agency confirmed a missile attack targeted the 5th Fleet's service/support center.

US officials (per NBC and others) acknowledged infrastructure damage at the site.

Multiple eyewitness videos and photos show smoke rising over the area, explosions heard in Manama, and sirens activated.

The base was reportedly partially evacuated or on heightened alert in prior weeks due to escalating tensions, which likely limited casualties (no major loss-of-life reports confirmed so far).

Damage seems focused on peripheral buildings/warehouses rather than core command structures, based on visible imagery and follow-up angles in the thread.

The event marks a serious escalation in the ongoing US-Israel-Iran conflict, with Iran vowing continued operations and the US signaling further response under the current administration.Related footage and analysis from the same account/thread also covers other strikes (e.g., possible impacts near Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan). This is developing rapidly with airspace closures, base lockdowns, and reports of intercepts elsewhere in the Gulf.
