Iran says it targeted US radar site in Bahrain
What happened
Iran's Revolutionary Guards said they struck a US early-warning radar in Bahrain on Friday, answering a US attack on a telecoms tower in Sirik.
The Guards said the radar was destroyed, but US Central Command denied it and said US forces intercepted two Iranian drones headed for Bahrain, according to the Guardian.
The US had carried out limited strikes on Qeshm island and other southern Iranian areas near the strait in recent days, calling them defensive.
The exchange came hours after President Donald Trump pulled Vice President JD Vance off Iran talks, following failed Qatari-mediated diplomacy.
“This is a serious warning to the aggressor enemy to end its aerial mischief and oil smuggling in the strait of Hormuz”
