Attack in Bahrain injures two despite US, Iran ceasefireMANAMA, April 8, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Iranian attacks on Bahrain injured two people, the Gulf kingdom's interior ministry said on Wednesday, hours after the United States announced a ceasefire with Iran. Earlier both Tehran and Washington said they had agreed to a two-week ceasefire barely an hour before President Donald Trump's deadline to obliterate Iran was set to expire. Shortly after the ceasefire was announced, Qatar's defence ministry also announced it was dealing with a missile threat. Before the truce was publicised, Doha's interior ministry said falling debris from an earlier intercepted missile salvo had injured four people, including one child. Iran targeted fossil fuel infrastructure in the oil-rich Gulf nations while effectively closing the strategic Strait of Hormuz to shipping, through which one-fifth of global oil usually passes.
