Iranian attacks reported in Iraq, Bahrain and Oman

The ongoing Iranian attacks have sparked fires across the region. Two tankers were set ablaze near the southern port of Basra in Iraq, forcing the suspension of operations at the country's oil terminals. Most of the crew members were rescued, but one died.

In Bahrain, a huge fire is burning after Iran targeted oil and fuel tanks near the international airport. The smoke is so thick that authorities are urging people to keep their windows closed.

In Oman, fire crews are still working to contain a blaze in fuel tanks from yesterday's attack at the port of Salalah. Oman has ordered the evacuation of ships at its oil export terminal as a precaution. It is clear that Iran intends to impose a prolonged economic shock.

Its Revolutionary Guards have also warned that Western financial institutions are now a legitimate target, following an attack on an Iranian bank. International banks have closed their offices in the Persian Gulf – HSBC here in Qatar, Citi and Standard Chartered in Dubai, telling employees to stay home./CNA, translated by BBC
