Iranian Missile Strike Reported Against Isa Air Base in Bahrain

Amidst a drastic escalation in regional warfare, Iranian media channels reported on March 15, 2026, that Isa Air Base in Bahrain was struck by Iranian forces. The reports follow widespread US and Israeli airstrikes on Iranian infrastructure earlier in the week and recent threats by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to retaliate against regional targets.

The IRGC-affiliated hardline state media channel, فارس بین‌الملل و سیاست خارجی, reported the "rising of a massive column of smoke from Isa Air Base in Bahrain."

News aggregators specializing in war coverage actively circulated the claims of direct Iranian involvement. The aggregator خبرفوری ࡆ اخبارفوری مذاکره ࡆ جنگ فوری stated there is "visual confirmation of a massive column of smoke" rising from the air base "after being hit by an Iranian projectile." Similarly, خبرفوری جنگ🚨اخبارفوری امریکا فوری explicitly attributed the smoke to an "Iranian missile attack."

The pro-government channel حامیان پزشکیان (Supporters of Pezeshkian) echoed the exact claim, confirming the rising smoke resulted from an Iranian missile strike.

The reported attack on Isa Air Base takes place in the context of an unprecedented, ongoing conflict across the region. Between March 9 and March 13, US President Donald Trump declared the destruction of the Iranian Air Force and Navy following a massive US-Israeli bombing campaign. In response to those strikes and following the formal appointment of Mojtaba Khamenei as Iran's third Supreme Leader, Iranian military officials threatened to ignite energy and military infrastructure across the Middle East. The region is already facing the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, halted oil production in Kuwait, and global oil prices exceeding $120 a barrel.
