Videos showed tense confrontations in Bahrain following the U.S.-Israeli strikes that killed Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on February 28, with protesters blocking roads and clashing after a rally condemning his death. Iran confirmed the killing, declared a 40-day mourning period, and launched missile and drone attacks on U.S. assets in the Gulf, including Bahrain where defenses intercepted dozens of projectiles. In the Sunni-ruled kingdom with a Shia majority, the unrest echoed past protests against discrimination, though major outlets have not verified the clashes and Bahrain's Interior Ministry has stayed silent.

Iran's IRGC Navy broadcast VHF warnings on February 28, 2026, barring ships from the Strait of Hormuz, causing a 70% drop in traffic through the chokepoint that carries 20% of global oil. The threats followed U.S.-Israeli airstrikes, codenamed 'Roaring Lion,' targeting Iranian nuclear sites, bases, and leadership, with Iranian media confirming Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's death. Insurers hiked war risk premiums, oil majors paused shipments, and Brent crude rose 2.45% to $72.87, though analysts doubt a full closure due to U.S. naval presence and Iran's own export needs.
