Tensions Surge in Gulf as Iran Strikes Hit Bahrain and Neighbors
Explosions have rocked the Gulf region, with Bahrain among the countries hit by missiles following a major US and Israeli strike on Iran. The situation is tense, volatile and rapidly evolving, raising fears of a wider conflict across the Middle East.
The Australian government has voiced its support for the US action, framing it as a preventive measure to stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and to curb ongoing threats to international peace. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese stressed that Australia stands with the Iranian people in their struggle against oppression, while highlighting decades of destabilizing behavior by Tehran, including support for armed proxies and brutal crackdowns on its own citizens.
Warnings have been issued to travelers across the region. Australians in Israel, Lebanon and now parts of the Gulf, including Bahrain, are being urged to leave if safe and to seek immediate shelter due to the risk of missile attacks and reprisals. Airspace closures are affecting flights and regional tensions are high, leaving civilians in uncertainty and danger.

The strikes mark a sharp escalation in a long-simmering conflict. Israel launched what it calls a preventive strike on Iran, drawing in US support, while Iran has responded with missile attacks targeting multiple neighboring countries, including Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait and the UAE. Saudi Arabia condemned these attacks, emphasizing the violation of sovereignty across Gulf nations, while warning that any further aggression could escalate the conflict even further.
European and UK leaders have called for maximum restraint, underlining the risk of a broader war that could destabilize the entire region. International observers warn that these events could disrupt global energy markets, inflame tensions among regional powers and have far-reaching humanitarian consequences.
This latest escalation highlights the fragility of peace in the Middle East, where decades of political and military tensions intersect with nuclear ambitions, proxy conflicts and domestic unrest. For Australia, the crisis hits home as past Iranian attacks on Australian soil and the targeting of Jewish communities serve as a stark reminder of the reach and consequences of regional conflicts.
As the situation unfolds, civilians across the Gulf are advised to stay vigilant, maintain access to essential supplies and follow local safety instructions closely. Governments are scrambling to protect their citizens, while the international community watches closely, aware that a single misstep could trigger a far wider confrontation.
