From ‘unconditional surrender’ to a 2-week cease-fire deal brokered by Pakistan..a country that doesn’t really like us very much and who has deep economic ties to Iran…to Iran still lobbing missiles/drones into both Israel and the UAE…I say ‘Houston we have a problem’…what say you dear reader?

Iran launched missiles toward Israel early Wednesday morning, hours after US President Donald Trump announced a two-week ceasefire involving the US, Israel, and Iran. Air raid alerts continued in Israel after the truce was announced, raising immediate doubts about whether the arrangement would hold.

Later on Wednesday, the Bahrain Interior Ministry said that air raid sirens were activated across the country following an Iranian attack on its territory.

"The alarm siren has been activated. Citizens and residents are requested to remain calm, head to the nearest safe place, and follow updates through official channels," the Bahrain ministry said in a statement.

Later on Wednesday, Bahrain confirmed the attack was carried out by Iran, with the missile causing a fire without leaving anyone wounded.

Despite that, missile alerts remained active after the ceasefire announcement.
