CLAIM · ASSESSED ~ · CONFIDENCE 0.50

Iran's military says Arash suicide drones struck US forces' quarters at Sheikh Isa base in Bahrain in multiple waves since dawn.

WHY THIS MATTERS · This matters because with inspectors locked out of Fordow and Natanz, the world no longer knows how much enriched uranium Iran actually has, shrinking the warning time before a possible weapon and raising the odds of a preemptive Israeli or US strike based on guesswork.
