00:18A new frontline is emerging in the Gulf, Bahrain on high alert, Iran issuing invasion threats,
00:26and now a warning from Manama, we are ready to fight back.
00:31As the U.S.-Israel-Iran war enters its fourth week, Bahrain has made its position clear.
00:38Its armed forces are on full combat readiness, prepared to repel any Iranian attempt to seize its territory.
00:47This comes after a chilling warning from Tehran.
00:50An Iranian analyst speaking on state television claimed that seizing the coastlines of Bahrain
00:56and the UAE is on the agenda, a direct threat linked to possible U.S. ground troop deployment in the
01:04region.
01:04According to these statements, Iran has already conducted drills for amphibious operations,
01:10signaling preparation for a coastal incursion, a move that could dramatically escalate the conflict.
01:17And tensions are not just theoretical.
01:20Since the war began, Bahrain has already been hit with missile and drone attacks.
01:25Targets include U.S. military installations, including the headquarters of the U.S. 5th Fleet in Manama.
01:33These strikes have caused damage, injured personnel, and resulted in casualties.
01:38Civilian-linked infrastructure, like desalination plants, has also been affected.
01:43But Bahrain says its defenses are holding.
01:47Air defense systems have intercepted most incoming threats.
01:50And the message from the Gulf is unified.
01:53Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, all standing together, condemning Iran's actions and affirming their right to collective self-defense.
02:03Under the GCC Defense Pact, any attack on one is seen as an attack on all.
02:10But the risk remains.
02:11Because even the threat of invasion raises the stakes.
02:15So, the Gulf braces.
02:17For now, it's a war of warnings.
02:20But if lines are crossed, this conflict could expand into something far bigger and far more dangerous.
