Iran claims drone attack on US base in Bahrain as Gulf tensions rise
According to Ynet, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed it struck a U.S. military installation in Bahrain in retaliation for what it described as hostile U.S. actions. Citing Fars news agency and Press TV, the IRGC stated that six drones were launched at a U.S. air defense radar system at the Al-Rifaa helicopter base. Neither U.S. nor Bahraini authorities have confirmed the attack. The Bahraini Interior Ministry has issued security alerts following the claim. Meanwhile, regional tensions are further exacerbated by ongoing Houthi missile and drone strikes against Saudi Arabia.
