US air base in Bahrain reportedly destroyed - Iran state media​

​

published at 12:52​

Reports are emerging of an Iranian strike destroying a US air base in Bahrain.

Footage posted by the Fars news agency, affiliated with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), appears to show a wave of rockets exploding into distant targets.

It claims the IRGC's drone and missile attack destroyed a US command and staff building air base in Bahrain's Sheikh Isa region and caused fuel tanks to explode.

The US has not yet commented on the reported attacks.

Earlier, smoke could be seen billowing from a US-run naval base in Bahrain.

The US State Department has ordered American citizens to immediately leave Bahrain, along with a dozen other countries in the Middle East.

US has enough weapons stocked for 'forever' war, Trump says​

published at 13:59
​

President Donald Trump has taken to Truth Social to comment on US stocks of "medium and upper medium grade" munitions, adding that wars "can be fought 'forever'... using just these supplies".

"We have a virtually unlimited supply of these weapons. The United States is stocked, and ready to WIN, BIG!!!" Trump writes, posting just before midnight in Washington DC (05:00 GMT).

In his latest remarks, he also accuses his predecessor Joe Biden of providing Ukraine with "so much of the super high end" US weapons.

At the end of his four-year term, Biden had allowed Ukraine to use powerful long-range ATACMS missiles, capable of striking up to 190 miles (300km).

US death toll rises as war with Iran enters day three​

USA TODAY
March 2, 2026, 5:54 p.m. ET

As the war between the United States and Iran enters its third day, the death toll of American servicemen continues to rise, now reaching six deaths as Operation Epic Fury continues in the region.

The updated toll was announced by the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) on Monday, March 2, in a post on X.

“U.S. forces recently recovered the remains of two previously unaccounted for service members from a facility that was struck during Iran's initial attacks in the region,” CENTCOM said.

Also on Monday, three American fighter aircraft crashed in Kuwait with crews surviving unscathed and in stable condition, the Pentagon said.

Donald Trump has criticised Keir Starmer for his role in the US attacks on Iran.

Speaking to the Sun, Trump says the prime minister "has not been helpful. I never thought I’d see that. I never thought I’d see that from the UK."

In a telephone interview, Trump adds: "It's very sad to see that the relationship is obviously not what it was."

On Monday, Starmer told the Commons the government "does not believe in regime change from the skies".

The UK initially did not allow the US to use British bases to attack Iran, but then opened its bases for "defensive" strikes on Iranian sites.

Trump tells the Sun: ""France has been great. They've all been great. The UK has been much different from others."

In Oman, a fuel tank at the Port of Duqm has been targeted in a drone attack, according to the country's state news agency.

"The resulting damage was brought under control without any human casualties being recorded," an unnamed security source is cited as saying.

The same port was targeted by drones over the weekend. One worker was injured, according to reports.

In nearby Qatar, production of liquefied ⁠natural gas was halted on Monday - about a fifth of global supply - after Iranian attacks on some of its facilities. Saudi Arabia also suspended production at its largest domestic refinery.

Oman has been a key mediator for years in US-Iran talks - the most recent of which took place in the country last month, with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi describing the mediated discussions as a "good beginning".

Tehran residents describe life under bombardment to CNN​

Residents of Iran’s capital tell CNN of how they are hunkering down through bombardments from US and Israeli strikes.

“Every moment I’m expecting to hear a sound of explosion. I don’t know where a new location will be hit,” Abas Aslani, Senior Research Fellow at the Center for Middle East Strategic Studies, told CNN’s Elex Michaelson.

Another Tehran resident described enduring a “heavy bombardment” on Monday night.

“It felt like an onslaught,” said the 36-year-old man, who CNN is not naming.

“Then it stopped and but just a little bit ago we heared explosions but that seems to have stopped as well. They are hitting everywhere, it’s much more intense this time around,” they said, referring to the US-Israeli strikes on Iran last year.

People are also worried about what is to come after Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed, said Aslani.

“Everybody is asking a question: What could be the future direction?” he said, adding that many fear Iran could plunge into the kind of civil conflict seen in places like Syria and Libya in the past.

“This instability is not welcome by the majority of the people even if they might be angry with the economic conditions or with the government,” Aslani said.

He added people will “not be willing to see a foreign intervention,” saying that “foreign aggression creates a rally around the flag.”

“So the assumption that Iran is that weak is not correct. And even the assumption that maybe the US is that strong might not be correct as well, so this has created a miscalculation that we’re seeing this escalation,” he said.
