Iran Claims Destruction of U.S. Radar in Bahrain

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it struck and destroyed a U.S. early-warning radar installation in Bahrain, retaliating for what it described as a U.S. strike on a telecommunications tower in Sirik, southern Iran. The claim has not been independently verified, and the United States and Bahrain had not immediately confirmed it. The IRGC warned that further attacks could trigger an unlimited confrontation and accused Washington of stoking tensions around the Strait of Hormuz. The claim comes amid repeated attacks on shipping, U.S. strikes on Iranian sites and a U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports. Diplomatic efforts have stalled, and President Donald Trump has said the U.S. could resume military action.
