Gulf Region — The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has launched a sixth wave of missile and drone strikes across the Gulf, unleashing panic in Dubai, Doha and Bahrain as fiery explosions lit up the night sky and air‑raid sirens wailed over some of the world’s richest cities.

In Dubai, residents filmed streaks of interceptor missiles over the Marina and downtown skyline as at least one Iranian drone was reported to have crashed near a major highway, sending shockwaves through nearby towers. Emergency services rushed to multiple impact sites while authorities urged people to stay indoors and away from windows.

Doha’s waterfront skyline briefly went dark after what officials described as “shock damage” to key power infrastructure. In Bahrain, blasts near military and industrial zones rattled homes and sparked traffic gridlock as families tried to flee vulnerable areas. Social media across the region is flooded with images of terrified crowds in malls, airports and metro stations, many clutching suitcases and passports.

Tehran’s hardline media calls this “unstoppable vengeance” for the joint U.S.–Israeli operation that killed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, promising “even harsher nights ahead” if American forces and the IDF do not pull back. Gulf governments, desperate to project control, insist the situation is “contained,” but markets, airlines and energy giants are already treating the Gulf as an active warzone — and the world is watching to see just how far Iran’s sixth wave will go.
