Iran Claims Destruction of US Early-Warning Radar in Bahrain
Iran targets US radar in Bahrain, according to the Revolutionary Guards, who tie the strike to an air attack on a telecom tower in Sirik; neither the US nor Bahrain had commented.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards said on Friday that they had targeted a US early-warning radar in Bahrain.
The Guards presented the strike as a response to an air attack on a telecommunications tower in Sirik county, Hormozgan province.
Descriptions of the claim differ: some say the radar was destroyed, others say only that it was targeted.
It is the first such claim against American military assets in a Gulf country since early September.
Neither the United States nor Bahrain had commented immediately, so the claim is unconfirmed.
