The USA base in Bahrain, US Navy's Fifth Fleet headquarters, is among the military sites that Iran has struck in retaliation to the strikes against it by the United States and Israel earlier today

Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) confirmed that it has carried out strikes on several US facilities in the region in retaliation for attacks on Iran by Israel and the US.

Bahrain said earlier that the US Navy's Fifth Fleet headquarters in the island kingdom was targeted. The Fifth Fleet's area of responsibility covers the Gulf, the Red Sea, the Arabian Sea and parts of the Indian Ocean.

Residents of Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, have reported hearing explosions. The United States maintains personnel at Al Dhafra Air Base, a key Air Force hub south of the city.

Explosions were also reported in Kuwait, home to US Army Central, and in Qatar, where Al Udeid Air Base is located.

The IRGC said in a statement that its missiles and drones struck the US Navy's Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain, as well as American bases in Qatar and the United Arab Emirates and military and security centers "in the heart of the occupied territories," adding that they dealt "severe blows."

Amid the volatile security situation, numerous global airlines have canceled flights to destinations across the Middle East.

The European Union’s top diplomat, Kaja Kallas, described the situation as "perilous" and called for the protection of civilians. She said the bloc is assisting EU citizens in leaving the region and withdrawing non-essential personnel.

Zambia, Tanzania seal deal on food security, defence cooperation

Zambia and Tanzania have deepened their long-standing ties after signing an implementation agreement aimed at strengthening cooperation in agriculture, business and defence, with a strong focus on food production and food security.

The agreement was signed today in Arusha at the close of the 4th Session of the Tanzania–Zambia Joint Permanent Commission on Defence and Security.

Speaking after the signing, Acting Minister of Defence and Minister of Home Affairs Jack Mwiimbu said the two countries have enjoyed historically close relations and remain committed to resolving issues through dialogue.

“Zambia and Tanzania have historically been close, and all issues affecting the two countries are always resolved through dialogue,” Mwiimbu said.

He added that the implementation agreement responds to the expectations of Hakainde Hichilema and Samia Hassan, who want tangible outcomes from the Joint Permanent Commission.

Under the agreement, the Zambia National Service and its Tanzanian counterpart will conduct exchange visits, share best practices and jointly work in agriculture and business to boost food production and national resilience.

Mwiimbu, who led the Zambian delegation, stressed that resolutions made during the Commission must translate into action.

“All the agreements and resolutions made during the Joint Permanent Commission must be fully implemented,” he said.

On the Tanzanian side, Minister of Defence Rhimo Nyansaho said the two nations stand to gain more by working together across multiple sectors.

“Zambia and Tanzania have a lot to achieve together, and Tanzania remains committed to continued collaboration in all sectors of the economy,” Nyansaho said, while wishing Zambia peace and prosperity, particularly ahead of the August 13, 2026 General Elections.

The agreement was signed on behalf of Zambia by Mwiimbu and ZAF Commander, Lieutenant General Oscar Nyoni, who chaired the Defence Committee during the Joint Permanent Commission.

Tanzania was represented by Chief of the National Service Major General Rajab Mabele.

The Joint Permanent Commission also focused on capacity building in internal security and defence cooperation before, during and after Zambia’s upcoming general elections.

The meeting was also attended by senior officials drawn from the Ministry of Defence, Ministry of Home Affairs and Internal Security, and various security wings.
