’21 US Troops Killed’: Massive Fire At American Navy's 5th Fleet HQ In Bahrain,Iran Claims ‘Success’



Iran has reportedly targeted the headquarters of the United States Fifth Fleet in Manama, Bahrain, in one of the most dramatic escalations of the ongoing war. Iranian media claimed that 21 U.S. soldiers were killed after missiles and Shahed-136 drone strikes hit the base in the Juffair District, though the claim has not been independently verified. The strategic naval headquarters oversees security across the Persian Gulf and the vital Strait of Hormuz, making the attack a major flashpoint in the widening Iran–U.S.–Israel conflict.

Washington Protesters Slam US–Israel Strikes On Iran, Mock Trump In Fiery Demonstration


Protesters gathered in Washington, DC to demonstrate against recent US–Israel attacks on Iran, voicing anger over the escalating conflict in the Middle East. Demonstrators marched through the US capital carrying banners and chanting slogans calling for an immediate end to military action.

During the rally, some protesters criticized former President Donald Trump and US foreign policy, with one chant mocking Trump by claiming he “thought this was Venezuela.” The remark quickly spread across social media as footage from the protest circulated online.

Participants accused Washington of deepening the conflict and warned that continued strikes could trigger a wider regional war. Activists called for diplomacy and de-escalation instead of military intervention.

The protest reflects growing divisions within the United States over the expanding Middle East crisis and Washington’s role in supporting Israel amid rising tensions with Iran.

Police monitored the demonstration as protesters marched near key locations in the US capital. Organizers said the rally was intended to pressure policymakers to halt military operations and prioritize diplomatic solutions.

Traffic stalls in Strait of Hormuz


Three Indonesian crew members are missing after a UAE-flagged tugboat sank in the Strait of Hormuz on Friday. Before it went down, the vessel experienced an explosion that sparked a fire. Local authorities are investigating. Traffic through the strait has nearly come to a halt, as captains fear attacks from Iran. Around one-fifth of the world’s oil and natural gas supply passes through the strait, along with vital daily goods. Camille Corcoran and our colleagues from FRANCE 2 report.
