CENTCOM confirms: Iran tried to strike US base in Bahrain in first attack on Gulf state in months

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed that the Iranian regime tried to target a U.S. base in Bahrain overnight, in its first attack on a Gulf country in several months.

"Today, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it attacked a 'U.S. early-warning radar' in Bahrain," CENTCOM said.

However, it noted that in fact, "The IRGC launched two one-way attack drones toward Bahrain and both were shot down by U.S. forces. There were no injuries or damage."

The Iranian attack came in response to a U.S. attack on a telecommunications tower in Iran’s southern Sirik county, overlooking the Strait of Hormuz.
