Trump says Iran regime remaining in power would be a defeat; IRGC claims radar attack in Bahrain

US President Donald Trump stated he would consider it a defeat if Iran's regime remains in power by the end of his term and would not hesitate to use military force. Separately, Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed responsibility for attacking a US early-warning radar in Bahrain.

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced that they attacked an early warning radar of the United States stationed in Bahrain, for the first time since September. The attack was carried out, according to them, in response to an airstrike on a communications tower in southern Iran. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump said he could have ended the war in Iran immediately, but allies, including Israel, asked him to take a 'longer and more civilized' route. Trump called the regime in Tehran an 'empire of evil' and accused it of killing 75,000 protesters.
