Iran has struck Bahrain’s massive Maameer oil refinery with missiles on Thursday, Bahrain’s Interior Ministry confirmed.
The attack intensifies the ongoing 2026 Iran-US-Israel war, targeting critical Gulf energy infrastructure.
Real-time video footage captures intense flames and thick black smoke billowing from industrial silos at the facility, which processes over 250,000 barrels of oil daily.
Eyewitnesses described a deafening explosion followed by fires that lit up the night sky, with emergency crews battling the blaze into the evening.
The refinery, Bahrain’s largest, sits at the heart of the kingdom’s oil sector.
