Bahrain says its air defenses have intercepted 125 missiles and 211 drones since the Iran war began.
The small island nation — home to the US Navy’s Fifth Fleet — has been among the most affected by Iranian strikes, which have hit ports, a hotel, a refinery and a water desalination plant.
Similar in size to Singapore and less than one-third the size of Rhode Island, it relies on US-made air defense systems.
At least one person has been killed in the attacks.
