Iran targeted US radar system in Bahrain

Iran claimed it struck US radar systems in Bahrain, while the US said it had intercepted the attacks. Clashes continue in the Strait of Hormuz, as the war remains in a state of de-escalation. Iran said its forces hit a US early warning radar system in Bahrain on Friday.

However, the US military denied the claims and said it shot down two Iranian attack drones. Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) initially said in a statement that its air force targeted and destroyed the radar on the island of Bahrain. They claimed this was a retaliatory attack in response to an US attack on a telecommunications tower in the Iranian county of Sirik, on the shores of the Strait of Hormuz.

Several hours later, the US military's Central Command, denied the IRGC's claim that the radar was destroyed and said it stopped two "one-way attack drones" targeting Bahrain by the militant group. Iran war , started by the US and Israeli strikes on February 28, is currently undergoing a de-escalation as main issues remain unresolved.
