Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed its Aerospace Force targeted and destroyed a US early warning radar in Bahrain in retaliation for an earlier air strike on a telecommunications tower in southern Iran's Sirik County.
In an official communiqué identified as Statement No. 22 the IRGC said the operation serves as a stern warning to end aerial violations and alleged oil smuggling in the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
The statement added that the IRGC Aerospace Force remains on full alert and warned that any repeated aggression would trigger a "limitless confrontation." It also cautioned commercial companies against cooperating with hostile forces in the region also threatening severe consequences for violators.
There was no immediate independent confirmation of the strike or comment from US military officials or Bahraini authorities.
