IRGC says Bahrain drone strike responded to ‘US aggression’ in southern Iran

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it had launched a drone strike on a US airbase in Bahrain in response to an American attack on a telecommunications tower in southern Iran.

Speaking to Sepah News, an IRGC spokesperson said the force had used “six drones” to target “the radar of the US defence site at the al-Riffa helicopter base in Bahrain”.

“Expensive American drones are being shot down one after another, and a greater number of IRGC drones are heading towards American targets at this stage than in the previous stage, so the enemy knows any aggression will result in a tough and calculated response,” the spokesperson said.
