Tehran says it destroyed an American early-warning installation in retaliation for an alleged airstrike, amid stalled peace talks
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has claimed to have struck a US early-warning radar installation in Bahrain.
In a statement carried by Iranian media on Friday, the IRGC said the attack was in retaliation for an alleged enemy airstrike on a telecommunications tower in Sirik, in Iran’s southern Hormozgan Province. The Guards claimed to have destroyed the radar, although neither the strike nor the reported damage has been independently verified.
There was no immediate confirmation from the US military or Bahrain.
The incident comes amid continued tensions between Washington and Tehran, with peace negotiations stalled and fears persisting over a possible resumption of major US military operations.
