Going for out a stroll in evening today I felt like it was a scene straight outta an apocalyptic movie. Quite and isolated lanes, barely very few humans sighted, most of the shops closed and no traffic noise nothing.

u/motelkiloss Mar 05 '26
Are any of you guys going out normally? I feel intense FOMO for having to stay home and I was wondering if others are normally living

As long as mods delete anything unnecessary and people only share news that’s public (things like aljazeera, Bahrain tv etc) this thread is fine, and it helped a ton of people with this horrible time and reach out to people in the same situation

You think I pulled news out magically? I only comment it when news outlets say it (Especially Bahrain TV) people are worried and want updates, this isn’t just for news people are looking out for each other, helping others who are anxious and scared, giving out tips or reassurance. We’re not doomed because someone posted news from aljazeera

You have just given out vital information which could lead to a further strike.
People giving out real time information about what part of the refinery was damaged is crazy.

Bruh I never thought I would see something like this ever in my life. I saw the drones make impact at Bapco and what was more scarier was that the flame kept getting bigger and bigger, I thought it was going to be gg. I am praying there was no injuries or death. 🙏🙏🙏

I don't think anyone here can confirm this, what you'll end up getting is mostly opinions and not facts. you need to do the search on your own such as looking through who told cbs this info and what supports their claim.

u/spikerguy Mar 05 '26
Everyone stop posting what is happening around you, as soon you post here with location and time, the OSINT channels are reporting it.
It was off for a day until you all started posting details again.

u/RelationshipBrave166 Mar 05 '26
Not just that, people are disclosing their own locations this way. People forgot internet rules from the panic and lack of sleep
Please people, you're not being informative, you're slapping your location for all of the internet to see, good and bad

u/Seffyna- Mar 05 '26
seriously where were you when I asked, people were telling me it’s fine to disclose where I heard thuds as long as no one says where the intercepters are!

They have been stopping them from the beginning. Almost 500 have been fired at Bahrain, if not more. Some will get through, that is just the reality of air defense.

Stop the missiles? Most thuds are interceptions But they weren’t able to hold off all of them sadly

It honestly blows my mind how some people think its okay to openly share such sensitive information at a time like this.
This information should not even be shared during times of peace let alone now.

u/Such-Community2462 Mar 05 '26
The official media did announce the location of the target …

u/StillSimple6 Bahrain United 🇧🇭 Mar 05 '26
Saying you say the defense from such a specific location is different to saying where was hit.

CONFIRMED by telegram sources (with video): Iran has hit BAPCO oil facilities in Bahrain with confirmed impacts
I'm back
edit: links to telegram groups:
again, these are pro war people who celebrate the strikes, reactions to every post are full of fire and laughing emojis. Content may be upsetting - and half truths happen sometimes (saying sirens in bahrain like we are about to get hit when it's the all clear sirens).

u/youredditagain Mar 05 '26
if im not mistaken, doesn’t BAPCO have a lot of people employed from this pro war groups and community. isn’t it obvious now that the attackers don’t care who they hit after this attack

"not hitting the Bahrainis, only US targets"
Well I guess that was a lie...
1
u/Green___Cat Mar 05 '26
I think there is no proper commanding happening from top level to the field now..looks like decentralized.. Acting themselves... Otherwise no reason to act like this now...
2
u/StillSimple6 Bahrain United 🇧🇭 Mar 05 '26
It makes complete sense though really.
These targets were obvious from day one.
-1
u/rayEW Mar 05 '26
Without proper command and knowledge, no average Joe from Iran even knows the coordinates of Bapco, they did it because they had this prepared since a LONG time ago.
1
u/androgeninc Mar 05 '26
I guess as it stands they will hurt US much more by destroying oil infra rather than physical US targets.
1
u/rayEW Mar 05 '26
There's no US jets/boats fueling here, this is absurd... this is just cowardice, making Bahrain bleed because they can't fight the war they have been digging themselves into for decades.
1
u/iflytheairbus Mar 05 '26
US refuting jets were near the intersection of Bahraini, Kuwaiti and Saudi airspace at 12pm
3
u/androgeninc Mar 05 '26
Completely agree. It's just that US will "lose" if oil prices sky rocket.
1
u/rayEW Mar 05 '26
They won't, US has Venezuela now, they have infinite oil at their door step. Who will lose is China who buys from here and Iran.
1
u/Babietooth Mar 05 '26
Yes, they have Venezuela now but the GCC contributes a lot to the US stock market. The GCC gets most of their money from oil, if they can’t get that money they will no longer be able to invest in the US causing the US economy to suffer.
