Iran's Revolutionary Guard claimed responsibility for attacking a US early warning radar in Bahrain, marking the first time since September they have admitted to targeting American military assets in the Persian Gulf. The Guard stated the strike was retaliation for an alleged Iranian air attack on a communication tower in southern Iran's Sirik province. Separately, former President Donald Trump stated that he could have immediately ended the conflict with Iran but was asked by US allies, including Israel, to pursue a different, more prolonged approach. "I could have ended it immediately, but at the request of the countries that I am trying to protect, we are doing it in a longer and more civilized way," Trump said. He asserted that if not for other Middle Eastern countries' objections, he would have targeted Iran's energy infrastructure, which he claimed could have been eliminated in three days. Trump described Iran's leadership as an "evil empire" that hates the US and Israel, and accused them of killing tens of thousands of protesters.
