The latest alert came after Bahrain sounded sirens twice since morning as Iranian counter attacks targeted the Gulf country.
Iran’s army earlier said it had targeted the US-operated Sheikh Isa Air Base in Bahrain with drones, while the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed it had struck infrastructure linked to US technology company Amazon in the kingdom with cruise missiles.
Neighbouring Kuwait also said its air defences had intercepted Iranian missiles and drones on Tuesday, adding that explosions heard in the country resulted from interception operations.
The Pentagon is confronting an urgent funding shortfall driven largely by the war in Iran, with key military accounts expected to run dry within weeks as US President Donald Trump expands the conflict, The Washington Post reported, citing US officials, Anadolu reports.

Almost 92% of the Israelis think that Iran has won the war against the USA, and now the Two State solution remains the only way out for Israel to survive its statehood.
Israel does not think like that, the prefer to use the nuclear option.
It is time for Iran to send a missile greeting to one of the us aircraft carriers in or near Hormuz. Send the billion dollar ship limping back to the states where it belongs. That is where the aircraft and bombs are coming from.
