Centcom issues safety warning to Iranian civilians

Why it matters: Escalating proxy wars threaten civilian safety and could trigger wider Middle‑East conflict.
- U.S. Central Command issues a safety alert to Iranians, citing the government’s use of civilian zones for military actions.
- Israel intensifies airstrikes on Iran’s strategic facilities, framing them as retaliation for Tehran’s regional aggression.
- Iran launches drone attacks on Bahrain, killing 32, demonstrating its willingness to project power beyond its borders.
U.S. Central Command warned Iranian civilians that the government is embedding military operations in densely populated areas, as Israel escalates strikes on Iran’s “regime infrastructure” and Tehran’s drone assault on Bahrain injures dozens. The overlapping conflicts raise the risk of civilian casualties and broader regional destabilization.
