The US military denied Iran's claim on Friday that it attacked a US early-warning radar in Bahrain. The military said its forces shot down two one-way attack drones that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps launched toward Bahrain, and that the drones caused no harm.
Iran described its strike as retaliation for what it called an air attack on a telecommunications tower in its Hormozgan province, according to Iranian state media. There was no immediate comment from Bahrain.
The claim came during a fragile lull in the conflict between Iran and the US, which began with US and Israeli strikes on Iran on February 28 and has since spread across the region.
Iran has launched missile and drone attacks on US bases in Gulf states and sought to restrict shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a vital route for global oil and gas supplies. Washington, in turn, imposed a naval blockade on Iranian ports.
