The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced it struck an American early warning radar system in Bahrain. According to Iran, the attack was retaliation for an airstrike on a telecommunications tower in Sirik, Hormozgan province, southern Iran. This marks the first time Tehran has claimed an attack on a U.S. military installation in Bahrain since early September.
Iranian state media reported the strike followed an assault attributed by the IRGC to an adversary. The incident occurs during a period of relative calm in the ongoing confrontation between Iran, the U.S., and Israel, which began on February 28 with U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iranian territory. During this conflict, Iran has frequently targeted U.S. military sites in the Persian Gulf with missiles and drones and attempted to restrict shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, prompting a U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports.
Neither Washington nor Bahrainian authorities have yet commented on the IRGC's statement.
