Iran targeted US radar system in Bahrain
Iranās Revolutionary Guards said they had destroyed a US early-warning radar system in Bahrain, describing the strike as a response to a US attack on a telecommunications tower in Sirik. The US military denied the radar had been destroyed, saying it intercepted two Iranian drones targeting Bahrain.
CENTCOM reported no casualties or damage. The claim comes amid a wider conflict in which Iran has restricted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and struck regional infrastructure and US assets; the Guards framed the latest operation as a warning over aerial activity and oil shipments through the strait.
