This is the moment a suspected Iranian drone strikes a high-rise building in Bahrain.

Iranian strikes targeted US military assets in the country on Saturday after the United States and Isreal launched attacks on Iran.

It is unclear if the building was the drone’s intended target.

Explosions have been heard in Bahrain, the UAE, Jordan and Qatar after the Iranian regime warned it would retaliate to any strikes by the US and Israel, which came after months of threats from US president Donald Trump.
