IRGC Drone Strike Targets US Air Defense Radar in Bahrain

According to Saednews, In a statement issued on Sunday, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed that six drones operated by its Aerospace Force had struck a radar system at a US air defense facility.

According to the statement, the successful strikes were heard across several areas of Bahrain, highlighting what the IRGC described as its operational capabilities.

The IRGC also accused the United States of attempting to divert international attention from the continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz through limited-scale operations, following what it described as the failure of Washington’s alleged plan to escort oil tankers through the strategic waterway.

The statement emphasized that the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, warning that any US military aggression would trigger a stronger and more severe response.

It further claimed that advanced American drones were being shot down successively, adding that the number of IRGC drones deployed against US targets in the current phase exceeds that of the previous phase.

The IRGC concluded by warning that every hostile action would be met with a forceful and carefully calculated response.
