Bahrain’s Bapco Energies declared force majeure on its group operations on Monday following a recent attack on its refinery complex, Reuters reported citing a statement from the company.
Bapco said that all domestic market needs remain fully secured and supplies will continue without disruption, supported by proactive plans in place.
The decision was declared after Iranian strikes on March 9, according to Bahrain’s state media.
Another attack targeted Sitra island, wounding at least 32 people, including children. Four of the victims are in critical condition.
The U.S. and Israel launched what they described as a pre-emptive strike against Iran on February 28, claiming that Tehran was developing a nuclear weapon and posing a threat—an allegation Iran has denied. In response, Iran launched counterattacks, firing missiles and drones at Israel, as well as at U.S. assets and other targets across the Middle East.
