Iran claims drone strike on U.S. radar in Bahrain, Bahrain says drones intercepted
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said six drones targeted the U.S. air-defence radar at al-Riffa air base in Bahrain, but Bahrain's military reported that the drones were intercepted. The incident came amid rising tensions in the Hormuz region. Earlier, the IRGC claimed the strike was retaliation for a U.S. airstrike on a telecom tower in Iran's Hormozgan province and said it had destroyed the radar.
U.S. Central Command, however, said the drones were shot down and reported no damage to the installation. Bahrain's armed forces also said they had downed several of the drones.
