Iran targeted US radar system in Bahrain

Iran said its forces hit a US early warning radar system in Bahrain on Friday. However, the US military denied the claims and said it shot down two Iranian attack drones. Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) initially said in a statement that its air force targeted and destroyed the radar on the island of Bahrain. They claimed this was a retaliatory attack in response to an US attack on a telecommunications tower in the Iranian county of Sirik, on the shores of the Strait of Hormuz. Several hours later, the US military's Central Command, denied the IRGC's claim that the radar was destroyed and said it stopped two "one-way attack drones" targeting Bahrain by the militant group.
