Will the Gulf states turn on Iran?

It does seem at this point that the first attack by an Arab nation against the Iranian mullahs has already happened.

The New York Times reported (behind a paywall) that they were able to verify video showing ballistic missiles launched from Bahrain toward Iran.

“A video verified by The New York Times shows ballistic missiles being launched from Bahrain in the direction of Iran, in what appears to be the first confirmed instance of an attack on the Islamic Republic originating from a Persian Gulf country since the war began.”

By hosting the U.S. Navy’s Fifth Fleet, Bahrain has been accused by Iran of enabling US military operations.

The footage was originally shared on X by a user calling himself Egypt’s Intel Observer (@EGYOSINT), and was geolocated to northern Bahrain, near the airport.

NYT’s Experts identified the launcher for at least one missile as a U.S.-made M142 HIMARS truck.

“That launcher is a U.S.-made M142 HIMARS truck, according to Wes J. Bryant, a national security analyst who served in the U.S. Air Force, and Fabian Hoffmann, a missile specialist at the University of Oslo.”

Bahrain purchased this equipment in 2025, but as of now, it’s unclear if U.S. or Bahraini forces were operating it.

The Gulf nations – and even Bahrain – have denied allowing missile launches from their territory – to avoid Iranian retaliation.

The NYT heard experts suggesting that US personnel may be operating the systems, given their presence and Bahrain’s limited capabilities.

Illegal Migrant Deported From America to Britain Issues a Stunning Response When Asked About His Experience

A young man who was in the United States illegally has made stunning remarks during an interview that have set the standard for personal responsibility and maturity.

Earlier this week, “Ted,” sat down with The Telegraph to detail his experience of being deported from America back to his nation of birth, the United Kingdom. Per his request, The Telegraph changed his name to “Ted” for the interview. 

“Ted” is a British national, but his parents took him to America illegally when he was a child.

His first removal order was in 2013. He was just 12 years old at the time.

“Ted” revealed to The Telegraph that ICE detained him last year while on his way to the airport to go to a friend’s wedding. He was then taken to a county jail and held there for three weeks.

The man then revealed that he was loaded onto an American Airlines flight to London Heathrow Airport, where he was released.

Despite this inconvenience, Ted not only refused to make excuses for his actions but also defended Trump’s immigration policies, specifically pointing to the chaos in Minnesota.

“Any president who wants a lawfully ordered nation has the right and the duty and the obligation to enforce deportation,” “Ted” said.

At the end, “Ted” seemed to suggest that Trump was not going far enough in cracking down on illegals, saying the president should have sent the National Guard to Minnesota after withdrawing DHS forces.

TED: In the summer or early autumn of last year, I was arrested, detained, and deported by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Chicago.

I was actually on the way to the airport, heading to a friend’s wedding. I had just gotten into an Uber on the way to the airport from my apartment.

They had a specific warrant for me…They knew my work schedule. They had been monitoring me.

I was taken to a county jail, where I was detained in a cell with maybe 40 other detainees. I was there for three weeks, then loaded onto an American Airlines flight and taken to London Heathrow Airport, at which point I was released.

I’m not making excuses. I should have been deported.

There is an illegal immigration crisis in America, and any president who wants a lawfully ordered nation has the right and the duty and the obligation to enforce deportation.

And yet, with what just happened in Minnesota, you saw these leftist agitators that were impeding law enforcement. They were obstructing the enforcement of the law in (ICE’s) attempts to detain and deport illegal immigrants, especially criminal illegal immigrants.

And what Trump did is he pulled the Department of Homeland Security out of Minnesota. I think, if anything, if he were being consistent with his policies, he should have brought in the National Guard and doubled down.

How refreshing to see someone take responsibility, refuse to play the victim, and keep a level head. Almost all illegal immigrants immediately point the finger at anyone other than themselves.

For good measure, “Ted” also called Britain “a dump” compared to America. Considering the loss of basic freedoms, far-left policies, and appeasement of radical Islam in the U.K., it’s tough to argue with “Ted’s” assessment.

WATCH: War Sec Pete Hegseth Confirms Iranian Supreme Leader is “Wounded and Likely Disfigured” Amid Reports That He’s Lost Limbs and May Be in a Coma

 

During a press briefing on Friday, War Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed reports that Iran’s new Supreme Leader, 56-year-old Mojtaba Khamenei, has been injured, possibly critically.  

As Hegseth was touting the US Military’s success in incapacitating Iran’s military infrastructure on Friday, he revealed that Khamenei, “the new so-called not-so-Supreme Leader,” is “wounded and likely disfigured.”

“His father dead, he’s scared, he’s injured, he’s on the run, and he lacks legitimacy. It’s a mess for them. Who’s in charge? Iran may not even know,” Hegseth continued.

WATCH:

Hegseth: Their production lines, their military plants, their defense innovation centers, defeated. Iran’s leadership is in no better shape. Desperate and hiding, they’ve gone underground, cowering. That’s what rats do.

We know the new so-called not-so-Supreme Leader is wounded and likely disfigured. He put out a statement yesterday, a weak one, actually, but there was no voice, and there was no video. It was a written statement. He called for unity. Apparently killing tens of thousands of protesters is his kind of unity. Iran has plenty of cameras and plenty of voice recorders. Why a written statement? I think you know why.

His father dead, he’s scared, he’s injured, he’s on the run, and he lacks legitimacy. It’s a mess for them. Who’s in charge? Iran may not even know. With every passing hour, we know and we know they know that the military capabilities of their evil regime are crumbling. They can barely communicate, let alone coordinate. They’re confused, and we know it. Our response, we will keep pressing. We will keep pushing, keep advancing, no quarter, no mercy for our enemies.

 Trump said on Thursday that Khamenei is “probably alive in some form,” but “damaged,” as reports suggested he was badly injured in US strikes.

Trump further responded to Iran’s threats to close the Strait of Hormuz, stating, “He’s gonna have to put up.” 

This came after the newly chosen leader issued a lengthy written statement, which was read out by Iranian state TV, but he did not make a televised appearance, as reports suggest that his injuries are severe.

“He is understood to have lost at least one leg in the incident and is believed to have sustained severe internal injuries, possibly to his stomach or liver,” GBN reports, noting that he may even be in a coma, according to sources.

Some reports suggest that he doesn't even know he's the Supreme Leader of Iran because of his current state.

Hegseth previously declined to comment on whether or not these reports were accurate.
