Barraged by Iranian attacks and questioning the value of security ties with the United States, nations in the Gulf have turned to Ukraine, Australia and Italy for help.

It is unclear from the video alone whether the U.S. or Bahraini military launched the missiles. Iran has frequently accused Persian Gulf countries of allowing their territory to be used as a launchpad for U.S. attacks.

Since the American-Israeli attack on Iran began, at least 12 civilians have been killed in oil-rich Gulf countries. All but one of them were foreign nationals.

The ordered departure of U.S. employees in the kingdom indicates that senior diplomats are bracing for a possible surge in violence in the war with Iran, officials say.

Strikes on non-military infrastructure are a “serious escalation,” analysts say, and could widen the war’s impact on civilians.
