In depth

Iran's Revolutionary Guards announced that they attacked a U.S. early-warning radar deployed in Bahrain. They said the attack was carried out in response to a U.S. air strike on a communications tower in the city of Sirik in southern Iran.

According to the Revolutionary Guards, the attack was a retaliatory action, and it is the first time since September that Iran has claimed an operation against a U.S. target in the Middle East. The claim was not confirmed by any U.S. official.

The Revolutionary Guards also reported an explosion on a vessel carrying liquefied gas in the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. Central Command said its forces intercepted two Iranian drones launched toward Bahrain.
