Bahrain’s military said it “confronted, intercepted, and destroyed a number of treacherous Iranian aerial attacks” on Saturday.
“The General Command of the Bahrain Defence Force announces that Iran continues its systematic hostile approach through its sinful attacks targeting civilians in the Kingdom of Bahrain,” read a statement posted on X.
“The General Command clarifies that with a solid will and high combat readiness, the air defense systems of the Bahrain Defence Force confronted, intercepted, and destroyed a number of treacherous Iranian aerial attacks today, Saturday, July 18, 2026.”
The reported interceptions come after the U.S. military struck numerous Iranian targets on Friday night in its latest wave of airstrikes against the regime in Tehran.
Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said Saturday that Tehran has “suspended” its commitments in the US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding that was reached last month, according to a report from Turkey’s Anadolu Agency.
The declaration comes after U.S. Central Command’s latest wave of airstrikes against Iran, which unfolded Friday night.
“The U.S. has violated and suspended all its commitments within the framework of the Islamabad MoU,” Gharibabadi reportedly told Iran’s Fars news agency.
"We have also suspended our commitments, we are not implementing them, and we are busy defending the country," he added.
Aircraft from the Royal Jordanian Air Force have intercepted and shot down four unmanned drones that entered the country’s airspace over the last 24 hours, a report said.
The Qatar News Agency, citing Jordan’s Army, said the interceptions resulted in no casualties or material damage.
The development comes as Jordan's armed forces also said they intercepted 10 Iranian missiles early Saturday.
Countries across the Middle East are reporting fresh Iranian aggression following U.S. military airstrikes on Iranian targets Friday night.

The Kuwait Petroleum Corporation said Saturday that “one of the vital sites in the oil sector was subjected this morning... to repeated, brutal Iranian attacks, resulting in severe material losses along with some injuries.”
“The injured have been treated and the site has been evacuated,” it added in a statement. “Efforts are underway to deal with the attack in coordination with the relevant authorities in the state.”
The announcement came as Kuwait’s Army said it intercepted ballistic missile and drone attacks on Saturday that originated from Iran.
“The Official Spokesman for the Ministry of Defense, Major General Saud Abdulaziz Al-Atwan, stated that the Armed Forces have detected, since dawn today, hostile ballistic missiles and drones within Kuwaiti airspace, which have been intercepted and dealt with,” Kuwait’s Army said.
“He added that the heinous Iranian aggression continued to target a number of military and security facilities, alongside several vital and civilian facilities in the country, as the attacks struck installations affiliated with the oil, electricity, and water sectors, leading to outbreaks of fires and causing severe damage to a number of facilities and installations,” a statement continued.
“He pointed out that the competent authorities have initiated firefighting and repair operations, resulting in injuries to a number of public fire force personnel and workers in the oil sector while carrying out their duties, and they are receiving the necessary medical care and treatment,” the statement added.
