Iran Claims Strike on US Radar in Bahrain; US Denies, Shoots Down Iranian Drones
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed it destroyed a US early-warning radar installation in Bahrain in retaliation for a US air attack on a telecommunications tower in southern Iran. The US Central Command denied the claim, stating it shot down two Iranian drones targeting Bahrain with no damage or casualties. The incident marks a continuation of tensions in the region since February, involving missile and drone attacks, naval blockades, and disputes over the strategic Strait of Hormuz, a vital global oil route. Neither Bahrain nor the US has confirmed damage to the radar.
