Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said in a statement they targeted a US air-defense radar at Bahrain’s Al Riffa helicopter base with six drones, describing the attack as a second round of retaliation for US military action.

The Guards said their Aerospace Force carried out the operation and claimed the drones struck their target.

The force also claimed the Strait of Hormuz remained closed and threatened a stronger response to any further US attacks.

It accused Washington of using naval escort operations as cover for “oil smuggling” through the strait and carrying out attacks to divert attention from what it described as the failure of those operations.

The Guards also claimed American drones were being shot down and said they had deployed more drones against US targets in this round than in the previous one.
