Iran's Guards say they targeted a US early-warning radar in Bahrain
USO•USO•USO•USO•Iran's Revolutionary Guards said they targeted a US early-warning radar in Bahrain in retaliation for an air attack on a telecommunications tower in Iran. The claim was the first of an attack on American military assets in a Gulf country since early September.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards said on Friday they targeted a US early-warning radar in Bahrain, describing the strike as retaliation for an air attack on a telecommunications tower in Iran's southern Sirik county. Iranian state media reported the Guards' claim. There was no immediate comment from the US or Bahrain.
The claim came during a fragile lull in the conflict between Iran and the US, which began with US and Israeli strikes on Iran on February 28 and has spread across the region. Iran has launched missile and drone attacks on US bases in Gulf states and sought to restrict shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, while Washington imposed a naval blockade on Iranian ports.
