Gulf Region — Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has unleashed a seventh and eighth wave of coordinated attacks across the Gulf, rocking Dubai and Bahrain with fresh explosions and raising fears that Tehran’s fury has no off‑ramp in sight.

In Dubai, late‑night shoppers and office workers froze as air‑raid sirens pierced the city’s glittering skyline. Residents filmed fiery streaks in the sky as air defenses tried to intercept incoming drones and missiles. At least one blast was reported near a major logistics hub on the outskirts of the city, sending a mushroom of smoke into the air and triggering a flurry of emergency vehicle sirens across multiple districts.

In Bahrain, where the US Fifth Fleet is headquartered, fresh detonations rattled windows in the capital Manama. Authorities confirmed “impacts near sensitive security facilities” and urged the public to avoid coastal areas as rescue teams and military convoys raced toward the affected zones.

From a secure command bunker in Tehran, IRGC spokesmen proclaimed the seventh and eighth waves as proof that Iran can “strike where the enemy feels richest and safest,” warning that more attacks will follow unless US and Israeli operations cease.

Gulf leaders, desperate to project calm, insist the situation is “under control” — but with each new wave of strikes, investors, airlines and energy markets are treating the region less like a transit hub and more like an active warzone, and wondering how long Tehran’s anger can burn before it engulfs them all.
