Iranian Guards Say They Struck US Early-Warning Radar in Bahrain

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it attacked a US early-warning radar in Bahrain. The IRGC described the strike as retaliation for an attack on a telecommunications tower in Iran’s Sirik area. The source does not identify who carried out the tower attack, so the account of the incident and the stated motive remain attributed to the IRGC. Iran had warned that it could target US military bases beyond the Middle East if they were used to launch attacks against Iran. Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, said the response would not be limited to bases near Iran.
