Iran says they targeted a US early-warning radar in Bahrain
Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed on Friday it targeted a US early-warning radar in Bahrain, the first such claim of an attack on American military assets in a Gulf country since early September. The IRGC said the strike was retaliation for an air attack on a telecom tower in Iran's Sirik county. No immediate comment from the US or Bahrain.
Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed on Friday that it targeted a US early-warning radar in Bahrain, marking the first such claim of an attack on American military assets in a Gulf country since early September. The IRGC said the strike was in retaliation for what it described as an air attack on a telecommunications tower in Iran's southern Sirik county, in Hormozgan province, according to Iranian state media. The claim came amid a fragile lull in the conflict between Iran and the US, which began with US and Israeli strikes on Iran on February 28 and has since spread across the region. Iran previously launched missile and drone attacks on US bases in Gulf states and sought to restrict shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, while Washington imposed a naval blockade on Iranian ports. There was no immediate comment from the US or Bahrain. Separately, US President Donald Trump threatened Thursday to renew military strikes against Iran 'without hesitation,' saying the Iranian regime is on the brink of collapse.
