King Fahd Causeway linking Saudi Arabia and Bahrain closes as Iran threatens Gulf bridges

Saudi Arabia has closed the 25-kilometre King Fahd Causeway linking the kingdom to Bahrain as a precautionary measure after Iranian media published a list of 10 bridges in the region — nine of them in the Gulf, including the Sheikh Jaber Causeway in Kuwait — that would be targeted in retaliation for Israeli strikes. Saudi Arabia intercepted 18 drones and seven ballistic missiles in the past few hours, with debris falling near energy facilities in the eastern region, where 70 percent of the country's energy infrastructure is located. Alarms have also been sounded in Bahrain and the UAE, while US media reported that 15 American soldiers were injured at the Ahmad al-Jaber airbase in Kuwait after an Iranian attack — though this has not been independently confirmed. The escalation comes just 18 hours before President Trump's deadline, with Iran's parliament speaker warning that if Trump fulfills his threat to "take Iran back to the Stone Age," Iran will retaliate and "burn the entire region." Gulf officials continue to call for de-escalation, stressing that there is no military solution to the conflict.

Al Jazeera's Malik Traina reported from Kuwait City.
