Bahrain’s Ministry of Interior said a siren had been sounded and urged residents to “remain calm and head to the nearest safe place”.
The announcement came after the US struck dozens of targets across several Iranian cities following a missile strike by the IRGC Navy on a Cyprus-flagged ship in the Strait of Hormuz.
In the past, Iran has responded to US strikes by targeting what it describes as American military assets in Gulf states with missiles and drones. Bahrain hosts a major US naval base.
