BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 12. Bahrain's Ministry
of Interior released a video showcasing a large-scale fire ignited
by an Iranian strike on a fuel depot in the Mahraq area, the
statement of foreign media says, Trend reports.


The footage captures the efforts of rescue workers who are seen
attempting to control the rapidly spreading flames in the affected
area.


Bahrain, where the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet base is located, has
frequently been targeted by missile and drone attacks from
Iran.


On February 26, the third round of US-Iran talks on Iran's
nuclear program was held in Geneva, although no agreement was
reached. Two days later, on February 28, the U.S. and Israel
conducted large-scale strikes on Iranian military targets,
resulting in the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Seyed
Ali Khamenei, alongside several high-ranking military and political
figures. In retaliation, Iran launched missile and drone attacks on
Israeli and American bases in the region.







In the days that followed, the confrontation escalated. The U.S.
sank the Iranian frigate IRIS Dena in the Indian Ocean, and on
March 8, Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei was elected Iran's third Supreme
Leader. The conflict posed a serious threat to security and the
energy market in the region.
