SRINAGAR: Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has claimed that its forces targeted a US early-warning radar installation in Bahrain in retaliation for an attack on a telecommunications tower in Iran’s Sirik.
According to local media reports quoting the IRGC, the operation was carried out in response to what Tehran described as aggression against its telecommunications infrastructure.
In a statement, the IRGC warned that further violations and acts of aggression in the Strait of Hormuz could trigger additional military action by its Aerospace Force.
The IRGC described the operation as a serious warning to the United States, accusing it of carrying out aerial provocations and oil smuggling in the strategically important Strait of Hormuz.
“Should these violations and acts of aggression recur, the IRGC Aerospace Force stands in full readiness to engage without limits,” the statement said, as quoted by Iranian local media.
The claim could not be independently verified. There was no immediate response from the United States or Bahrain regarding the reported strike.
