Here the drone hits the apartment block
A verified video shows a drone strike hitting an apartment building in Manama, Bahrain, resembling Iranian Shaheed drones.
A video has been verified by Aftenposten showing a drone hitting an apartment block in Manama, Bahrain. This incident appears to involve a drone that matches the characteristics of Iranian Shaheed drones. The extent of the damage caused by this strike is currently unknown. Additionally, another video circulating on social media platform X shows the same drone attack filmed from a lower floor in the same building.
In related news, Reuters has reported through an anonymous Israeli intelligence source that Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is dead, with his body reportedly found. This claim has been corroborated by several Israeli media outlets, heightening concerns and speculation in the region. Meanwhile, Iranian state media has responded with a statement from a PR official at Khamenei's office, dismissing the death reports as psychological warfare by enemies and urging caution.
This situation is unfolding against the backdrop of escalating tensions in the region, particularly with respect to Iran's drone capabilities and its role in regional conflicts. The implications of Khamenei's reported death would be significant, potentially leading to a power vacuum and increased uncertainty in Iranian politics, as he has been a central figure in Iran's governance since 1989.
