Iran’s Revolutionary Guard claimed responsibility Sunday for a six-drone attack on a radar at a U.S. defense installation at the Al-Riffa helicopter base in Bahrain, describing it as part of a second wave of response to what it called a “flagrant aggression” by the United States.
In a statement carried by the Fars agency, the elite military corps said the drones’ “precise and accurate impact” was heard in various areas of Bahrain and “once again demonstrates the operational capabilities of the Revolutionary Guard.”

The IRGC also called the U.S. program of escorting ships through the Strait of Hormuz a “failure” and declared the strait “closed.”
Before the Guard’s statement, Bahrain’s Interior Ministry sent two alert messages about a possible threat. On the social network X, the ministry urged citizens and residents to remain calm, go to the nearest safe place and follow the news through official channels to protect public safety.
