Iran’s Revolutionary Guard said it attacked a US radar system in Bahrain on November 13, according to Al Jazeera and The Guardian. The Guardian said Iran described the strike as retaliation for a US attack on a communications tower in Iran, while Al Jazeera located the tower in Hormozgan province. The News-Gazette reported that US forces intercepted two Iranian drones heading toward Bahrain and said the radar claim was unverified; Iraq Sun reported that CENTCOM rejected Iran’s account.
