In a statement published by Iran’s Mehr news agency and republished by Wona, the Guard said its aerospace force had attacked the radar in response to an air strike on a telecommunications tower in Sirik, in Iran’s southern Hormozgan province.
The Guard warned of further action if attacks were repeated. It did not specify the precise time of the alleged strike in Bahrain or the weapon used.
ANP and Reuters reported that this was the first time since early September that the Guard had announced an attack on US military installations in a Gulf state. They said Bahrain and the United States had not responded to the claim at the time of their reports.
The announcement follows a call by Bahrain, on behalf of Gulf states, for Iran to pay reparations for earlier attacks.
