Iran’s Revolutionary Guards say their forces carried out a drone attack on a US radar system at a base in Bahrain, according to a statement carried by the Iranian state broadcaster, AFP reports.

“The US air defence radar system at the Al-Riffa helicopter base in Bahrain was targeted by six drones belonging to the IRGC Aerospace Force,” the Guards say in a statement posted by the state broadcaster on Telegram.

Previously, Bahrain issued two separate alerts about potential threats in posts on social media platform X on Sunday, the first such warnings by the Gulf country since September.
