Iran’s Revolutionary Guards say they targeted a US early-warning radar in Bahrain, the first such claim of an attack on American military assets in a Gulf country since early September, Reuters reports.
The Guards say the strike was in retaliation for what they described as an air attack on a telecommunications tower in Iran’s southern Sirik county, in Hormozgan province, according to Iranian state media.
The claim comes amid a fragile lull in the conflict between Iran and the US, which began with US and Israeli strikes on Iran on February 28 and has since spread across the region.
There was no immediate comment from the US or Bahrain.
