Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has said it targeted a US radar defence facility at Al-Riffa Air Base in Bahrain using six drones.
Anadolu Agency reported on Sunday, November 15, that no details had been provided about the extent of the damage or possible casualties resulting from the attack.
The claim came after Bahrain’s Interior Ministry issued several warnings about a possible threat in the hours before the incident and urged residents to seek shelter.
In a statement, the IRGC said the Strait of Hormuz remains closed and criticized what it described as Washington’s failure to protect ships passing through the waterway.
The Iranian military body also warned that any US attack would be met with a stronger and more devastating response.
These developments come as tensions between Iran and the United States continue over the passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz.
The waterway is one of the world’s strategic routes for transporting energy and goods, and shipping access through it has been a key issue in negotiations between the two countries.
