Iran Claims Missile and Drone Attacks on US Fifth Fleet Base in Bahrain

Iran has claimed responsibility for missile and drone attacks on the US Navy's Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain's Juffair District, alleging 21 American soldiers were killed and radar systems destroyed. Satellite images show significant damage and fires at the base. Iran describes the strikes as retaliation for prior US-Israeli operations, while US officials have warned of severe consequences. Experts caution that claims about disabling radar systems may be overstated, noting the US and Israel maintain multiple surveillance layers.
