Iran claims: We struck US radar in Bahrain

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced this morning (Thursday) that they destroyed a US early-warning radar system stationed in Bahrain. According to reports by Globes and Middle East Online, the operation was carried out as a retaliatory measure for an air strike that targeted a telecommunications tower in Iran's Hormozgan province. Concurrently, reports emerged regarding a tanker explosion in the Persian Gulf, though further details on this incident have not yet been released.

This marks the first Iranian strike on a US asset in the Gulf region in several weeks. To date, there has been no official response from the United States or Bahrain regarding the extent of the damage or the strike itself. Further details have not yet been released.
