Iran’s IRGC Claims It Shot Six Drones To US Air Base In Bahrain, Warns Of More Devastating Attacks
According to the report, the Iranian military operation successfully targeted the radar system at the US air defence site located inside the Riffa Air Base in Bahrain.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has claimed that its air force struck a United States air defence radar installation at Riffa Air Base in Bahrain using six drones, amid heightened tensions between Tehran and Washington.
The claim was reported by Fars News Agency, an Iranian news outlet affiliated with the IRGC.News website subscription
According to the report, the Iranian military operation successfully targeted the radar system at the US air defence site located inside the Riffa Air Base in Bahrain.
The announcement came after Bahrain’s Ministry of Interior issued repeated warnings over the past few hours about an unspecified potential security threat, urging residents and citizens to move to shelters as concerns grew over possible attacks.
However, the Bahraini authorities had not publicly specified the nature of the threat in the warnings referenced in the report.
In its statement published by Fars, the IRGC also insisted that the strategically important Strait of Hormuz remained closed, dismissing what it described as the United States’ failure to escort ships through the critical waterway.
The Iranian military further warned Washington against taking any action it considers aggressive, threatening an even stronger military response.
“Any act of aggression by the US will be met with an even harsher and more devastating response,” the IRGC warned.
The latest claim comes amid escalating tensions between Iran and the United States, with the Strait of Hormuz remaining a major strategic flashpoint because of its importance to international shipping and global energy supplies.
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most important maritime routes, serving as a major passage for oil and gas shipments from the Gulf to international markets.
Meanwhile, the United States military had not issued any official statement confirming or addressing the IRGC’s claim that six Iranian drones struck the US radar installation at Riffa Air Base in Bahrain as of the time of filing this report.
