Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says it carried out an attack on a US early-warning radar site in Bahrain. Multiple outlets report the IRGC frames the strike as a response to an attack on a telecommunications tower in Iran’s southern Sirik county, in Hormozgan province.

The reports describe the IRGC claim without confirming independently whether the Bahrain strike occurred or what damage resulted. Jerusalem Post and Free Malaysia Today present the retaliation rationale in similar terms, focusing on the Bahrain radar target and the Sirik telecommunications tower as the trigger.

Al Jazeera similarly highlights the IRGC’s explanation, describing it as a response to US actions. Middle East Eye includes additional wording attributed to the IRGC about issuing a warning and readiness to respond further if “violations” continue, but it also centers the same core claim about Bahrain and the telecommunications tower in Sirik.
