In March 2026, Iran launched multiple missile and drone attacks against Bahrain as part of a wider retaliation against U.S.-Israeli strikes that began on Feb. 28, 2026 . Iranian IRGC strikes targeted Bahraini aluminum facilities, critical infrastructure, and U.S. bases in the region, causing civilian injuries, damages in areas like Sitra and Muharraq, and hitting a desalination plant .

Key details of the March 2026 Iranian attacks on Bahrain include:

• Targeted Infrastructure & Military Sites: Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) targeted Aluminium Bahrain (Alba) and U.S. military-linked installations, claiming these were retaliation for U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iranian infrastructure .
• Civilian Impact (March 9): A drone strike on March 9 injured 32 civilians, including children, in a residential area of Sitra, according to a report from The Strait Times .
• Desalination Plant Attack: An Iranian drone caused damage to a desalination plant on March 8, a case of Iranian aggression against critical infrastructure .
• Ongoing Attacks (March 25): The IRGC continued attacks on March 25, with about 30 drones targeting Bahrain .
• Regional Context: Bahraini authorities, including the Bahrain Defense Force, used Patriot missile systems to intercept strikes and reported that many attacks were thwarted, says Anadolu Ajansi .

The attacks in Bahrain were part of a broader, systematically targeted campaign against Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries holding U.S. military assets, with IISS noting extensive damage to energy and transportation infrastructure .

April 2026. Summer season beginning. Light rain during the changeover of season in March. No trees seen outside city areas due to hot desert climate. The government maintained the trees in city areas and affluent families grow trees in their properties.

Daytime. People don't go out, even if on leave. Too hot. Go out at night.

No Grabfood delivery riders, but local brand

No taxis in Sanad as cars are cheap. Taxis seen mostly in Manama city.

 

4049. PHOTOGRAPHY - half plane. Need to have wingtip.

 Good afternoon. 

iPhone 15 Pro image of Hawaiian Airlines plane in Seattle airport taken by Mitchelle. 

Sharp image such that I can read "Airbus A320-200". Such "half-plane" photos must have the wingtip on one side to make it attractive, otherwise, the plane looks chopped off if the wingtip is absent. 

Photoshop "removed" other planes or their parts to make this image focused on Hawaiian Airlines plane.

METHOD 1. VIDEO MODE.

To photograph the full moon with an iPhone 15 Pro Max, use a tripod for stability, switch to the camera's video mode, zoom in on the moon, and then lower the exposure by tapping and dragging the sun icon down until the details become visible. 

 

1. Mount your phone: Place the iPhone 15 Pro Max on a tripod or a very steady surface to avoid any shake.
2. Open the camera app: Ensure you are in a dark location with a clear view of the moon.
3. Switch to video mode: Select the video option and choose a high-resolution setting like 4K for better quality.
4. Zoom in: Use the telephoto lens to zoom in as far as possible on the moon.
5. Tap to focus: Tap on the moon on your screen to lock the focus.
6. Lower exposure: You will see a yellow sun icon with a slider appear. Drag this slider down to reduce the exposure until you can see the moon's details clearly.
7. Record and capture: Start recording video and take a screenshot of the sharpest moment in the video. You can also take individual photos while recording. 

 

 Method 2: Photo mode (Night Mode)

Alternatively, use the photo mode's Night mode and zoom in, lock the focus by tapping the moon, then reduce the exposure and use the self-timer for a steady shot. 

 

1. Mount your phone: Stabilize the phone with a tripod to prevent any shaking.
2. Open the camera app: Point the phone at the moon and ensure Night Mode is on (it should activate automatically in low light).
3. Zoom in: Zoom in on the moon, preferably using the telephoto lens.
4. Lock focus and exposure: Tap and hold the moon on the screen until "AE/AF Lock" appears. This will lock the focus and exposure.
5. Reduce exposure: A sun slider will appear. Slide it down to lower the exposure and bring out the moon's details.
6. Use the timer: Set a self-timer to avoid any shaking when you press the shutter button.
7. Take the photo: Take the photo. You can then edit the photo using the built-in Photos app to adjust brightness, contrast, and sharpness further.
