## Key points

- The IRGC says the action was retaliation for an attack in southern Iran.
- The claim comes amid rising military tensions and uncertain diplomacy.

## Summary

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps says it targeted a US early-warning radar site in Bahrain, describing the action as retaliation for an air attack on a telecommunications tower in southern Iran. The claim raises tensions as Washington weighs its next steps in a war that began on 28 February, though the United States and Bahrain had not immediately commented.

Iranian state media said the port city of Sirik was hit by “enemy fire” on Thursday, while an IRGC-affiliated agency claimed the radar installation was destroyed. Bahrain hosts the US Navy’s Fifth Fleet headquarters, which was damaged in earlier attacks during the war. Reuters reported this was Iran’s first claimed attack on US military assets in a Gulf country since early September; the latest claim comes amid renewed military warnings and stalled diplomacy.
