US forces shot down two Iranian attack drones launched toward Bahrain, US Central Command said on Friday, rejecting Iran’s claim to have destroyed an American early-warning radar there.
CENTCOM said Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched the two one-way attack drones. It reported no injuries or damage.
🚫 CLAIM: Today, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it attacked a “U.S. early-warning radar” in Bahrain. ✅ 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.

Earlier today, the IRGC’s Aerospace Force said it destroyed the radar in response to an “enemy air attack” on a telecommunications tower in the southern Iranian city of Sirik. It described its operation as a “serious warning” to halt aerial provocations and oil smuggling in the Strait of Hormuz.
