Iran Claims to Destroy US Radar in Bahrain; US military shot down two Iranian drones

  The US military claimed on Friday that it had shot down two Iranian drones fired at Bahrain. Earlier, Iran's paramilitary force 'Revolutionary Guard' (IRG) said to target the American 'early-warning radar system' installed in Bahrain.


The Revolutionary Guard also claimed that a tanker trying to pass through the Strait of Hormuz hit a mine, causing it to explode. However, both the IRG's claims have not been independently verified.


The US military said it had shot down two Iranian attack drones flying towards Bahrain. Along with this, he has also categorically rejected Iran's claim of destroying its radar in Bahrain. The Central Command of the US Army said that there was no loss of life or property in the attack by Iran.

Iran's official news agency IRNA, quoting the Revolutionary Guards, reported that the attack on the US radar system followed the US attack on a telecommunications tower in the southern Iranian port of Sirik.


Notably, Bahrain has been one of the harshest critics of Iran and is home to the US Navy's fifth fleet. According to the IRG, the attack on the radar is a serious warning to the US to stop its attacks.
