Iran Claims Attack on US Early-Warning Radar in Bahrain

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has claimed responsibility for an attack targeting a US early-warning radar system in Bahrain.

According to a report by Al Jazeera, the IRGC said the strike was carried out in retaliation for an attack on a telecommunications tower in Iran’s Sirik region on Thursday, November 12.

The IRGC said the attack was intended as a strong warning to the “aggressive enemy” to stop provocative activities in Iranian airspace and prevent oil smuggling through the Strait of Hormuz.

In its statement, the IRGC also warned that its Aerospace Force was fully prepared to launch retaliatory operations without any restrictions if similar violations and acts of aggression occurred again.
