Iran Claims Strike on US Early-Warning Radar in Bahrain Amid Ongoing Tensions
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed it targeted a US early-warning radar in Bahrain on November 13, retaliating for a US air strike on a telecommunications tower in southern Iran's Sirik county. This marks the first Iranian attack on American military assets in a Gulf country since early September amid ongoing tensions that began in February involving missile strikes, drone attacks, and a US naval blockade. Neither the US nor Bahrain has commented on the claim, and the extent of damage remains unconfirmed.
