Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said on Sunday that it had targeted a US radar defense site at al-Riffa Air Base in Bahrain with six drones, according to state media, Anadolu Agency reported.
There was no claim or information about whether the drones caused damage.
The report followed repeated warnings issued hours earlier by Bahrain’s Interior Ministry about a potential threat. The ministry did not specify the nature of the threat and urged residents to seek shelter.
In a statement carried by state-run broadcaster IRIB, the IRGC said the Strait of Hormuz remained closed and referred to what it called Washington’s “failure” to escort ships through the waterway.
It warned that “any US aggression would be met with an even harsher and more devastating response.”
The developments come amid continued tensions between Iran and the US over navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic waterway for global energy and commodity supplies. Passage through the strait has also been a key issue in negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
The war began with US and Israeli attacks on Iran on Feb. 28, before the sides reached a ceasefire in April. Fighting between Washington and Tehran later resumed as negotiations stalled, despite the two sides signing a memorandum of understanding in June.
