Amid the ongoing conflict with the US, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has made a major claim. According to the IRGC, its aerospace force destroyed the US military’s early warning radar in Bahrain in a precision strike. A statement issued by Iran called it a response to an airstrike on a telecommunications tower in its Sirik region.
The IRGC called the attack a serious warning to the US. Iran said its aerospace force is ready to respond without any limits if airstrikes and provocations against it continue.
Also warning about American activities in Hormuz
Earlier on Wednesday, Iran also issued a stern warning to America. Iran said that if the US launches a new attack, Iran will give a jaw-dropping response. At the same time, now Iran’s targeting of the American military base in Bahrain could increase the ongoing tension between the two countries. Let us tell you that the headquarters of the US Navy’s fifth fleet is also located in Bahrain.
Apart from this, Iran has also warned about alleged oil smuggling and American activities in Hormuz. It has also been said that companies that support the US military may also face stricter measures. However, there was no immediate official reaction from the US and Bahrain to Iran’s claim of the attack.
Trump had asked to divert attention from Iran a day ago
In fact, the attack comes at a time when President Donald Trump has already signaled that he wants to shift his focus away from the Iran war. Trump said in a post yesterday, ‘We don’t need a deal with Iran. Those days are long gone. We have their money, hundreds of billions of dollars, and we have their straight.
President Donald Trump on Thursday directed Vice President JD Vance to shift his focus from the Iran war to fighting corruption and crime in Democratic-controlled cities and states. The Trump-led party has suffered a major setback in the US mid-term elections, with JD Vance saying the Iran war caused the major defeat.
