Iran claims targeting US radar in Bahrain; US denies, reports intercepting two Iranian drones

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed on Friday to have targeted and destroyed a US early-warning radar in Bahrain, stating it was in retaliation for a US airstrike on a telecommunications tower in Sirik, Iran. US Central Command (CENTCOM) denied the radar destruction, confirming that US forces intercepted two Iranian drones headed for Bahrain, with no reported injuries or damage. This marks Iran's first direct claimed attack on US military installations in a Gulf country since early September.
