Iranian Guards say they targeted US base in Bahrain

The Iranian Revolutionary Guards say they targeted a US air defence radar at Al-Riffa, Bahrain, with six drones. Alert sirens sounded shortly beforehand, amid confrontation between Tehran and Washington, according to a statement broadcast on Telegram.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said on Sunday 15 November that it had targeted the US air defence radar system installed at the Al-Riffa helicopter base in Bahrain with six drones. Alert sirens had sounded in Bahrain shortly before, according to a Revolutionary Guards statement cited by BFMTV.

The claim comes after US Central Command the previous day denied an Iranian strike on the radar in Bahrain. The US military command had thus disputed the attack previously reported by Tehran, according to the Centcom denial of an Iranian strike on a radar in Bahrain.
