The US Central Command (CENTCOM) on Friday denied claims by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) that it had targeted early warning radar systems in Bahrain.
CENTCOM said US forces shot down two attack drones launched by the IRGC toward Bahrain, adding that there were no casualties or damage.
Earlier, the IRGC announced it had destroyed an early warning radar belonging to US forces in Bahrain, in response to “the aerial aggression that targeted a communications tower in the Sirik area.”
The public relations office of the IRGC Navy said fighters from the Aerospace Force had targeted and destroyed “an early warning radar belonging to US forces on Bahrain Island, in response to the aerial aggression that targeted a communications tower in the Sirik area.”
On Thursday evening, Iran’s IRNA news agency reported that the city of Sirik, in the southern province of Hormozgan, had been hit by an air strike.
It said the strike was military in nature, without giving further details on damage or casualties.
