Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has claimed a devastating strike against a US military base in Bahrain. The IRGC’s Public Relations Department announced on Thursday that its Navy conducted a ‘devastating strike against the US base in Sheikh Isa, Bahrain,’ completely destroying the air surveillance and control radar system and the fuel pumping station supplying the enemy’s fighter aircraft.
The attack was carried out in response to what Iran describes as ‘crimes of the child-killing US military’ in its aerial assaults on coastal bases and several civilian locations. These include a children’s cancer hospital and a water production facility serving pilgrims traveling to Iraq’s holy city of Karbala in the border region of Iran’s Ilam Province.
The claim comes amid heightened tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has declared closed until further notice following deadly US strikes on Iran in violation of a recent war-ending deal. The IRGC statement did not provide evidence of the strike, and there has been no immediate confirmation from US or Bahraini authorities.
