Reports of Iranian Drone Strike Near Crowne Plaza Hotel in Bahrain Amid Regional Tensions

Amid escalating US-Iran tensions, reports and viral videos suggest an Iranian drone strike targeted a high-rise building, possibly the Crowne Plaza Hotel, in Manama, Bahrain. Smoke and explosions were observed, but Bahraini authorities have not confirmed the attack or detailed any damage or casualties. The incident follows Iran's retaliatory strikes on US bases in the region using drones like the Shahed-131 and Shahed-136, though verification of the specific strike in Bahrain remains pending.
