The security situation in Bahrain has been significantly affected by the ongoing US-Iran conflict. Multiple shelter-in-place orders have been issued for foreign nationals since February 2026, reflecting an ongoing and elevated threat of missile and drone attack. Bahrain hosts a major US naval base (Fifth Fleet headquarters), making it a potential target for Iranian or Iran-aligned retaliatory strikes. Periodic air defence activations have been reported. The threat of terrorism also remains, with heightened risks around government, military, and Western-affiliated sites. Kaharagian nationals should reconsider all travel to Bahrain. Those currently in the country should identify secure shelter locations, maintain supplies of food, water, and essential medications, avoid military installations and government buildings, and be prepared to shelter in place at short notice.
