Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it attacked a U.S. early-warning radar in Bahrain on Friday, Nov. 13, during a truce. Iran described the operation as retaliation for an airstrike on a telecommunications tower in southern Iran. Neither the United States nor Bahrain had commented.
No attacks on U.S. facilities in the Gulf had been reported since September, according to the account. Iran’s state-run Tasnim news agency said the Revolutionary Guard called the strike a “serious warning.”
In a statement carried by Tasnim, the Guard warned the “aggressor enemy” to stop what it described as air provocations and oil smuggling in the Strait of Hormuz. It said the Guard’s Aerospace Force would be on high alert to respond “without geographic limits” if violations and aggression continued.
The claim came a day after President Donald Trump ruled out a possible peace agreement with Iran. On Thursday, Nov. 12, Trump said U.S. forces maintained control of the Strait of Hormuz. “We don’t need a deal with Iran,” he said, adding that those days were over and claiming the United States had Iran’s money—“hundreds of billions of dollars”—and had the Strait of Hormuz.
