Iran claims six-drone attack on US air defence radar in Bahrain
The IRGC claimed that its Aerospace Force launched six drones at the American radar facility
TEHRAN: (News Desk) – Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has claimed that it targeted a US air defence radar installation at the Al-Rifaa helicopter base in Bahrain with six drones, according to Iranian state media.
In a statement carried by the IRGC-affiliated Fars News Agency on Sunday, November 15, the Guards said the attack was part of what they described as the second phase of their response to US military actions against Iran.
The IRGC claimed that its Aerospace Force launched six drones at the American radar facility, describing the operation as retaliation for what it called hostile actions by the United States.
Meanwhile, Bahrain’s Interior Ministry issued security alerts on Sunday, urging residents to remain calm and move to safe locations amid reports of potential threats.
However, there was no immediate independent confirmation of damage or casualties resulting from the latest reported attack. Neither US nor Bahraini authorities had immediately confirmed the IRGC’s claim.
The latest development comes days after Iran claimed to have destroyed a US early-warning radar system in Bahrain. The US Central Command (CENTCOM), however, rejected that claim, saying American forces had intercepted two Iranian drones heading towards Bahrain, with no injuries or damage reported.
Bahrain hosts the US Navy’s Fifth Fleet and has become a focal point of tensions amid the ongoing conflict between Washington and Tehran.
