Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has claimed a drone attack with six drones on a US military installation in the Middle Eastern country of Bahrain. Tehran says the attack was in response to US “aggression”.
The claim was made in a statement issued by the IRGC’s public relations department on Sunday (15 November).
The statement said six drones targeted the radar of a US defence installation at Bahrain’s Al-Riffa helicopter base, in the second stage of a “firm and decisive” response to the “shameless aggression” of the US military.
The statement, published by the Iranian news agency Sepah News, was accompanied by video footage of the attack.
The IRGC also said the attack on the “American aggressors” was in response to an enemy air strike last week on a telecommunications tower in the Sirik area of southern Iran.
“Costly US drones are being shot down one after another,” the statement said. “More IRGC drones than in the previous stage are now advancing on American targets. The enemy should know that any aggression will be answered firmly and with calculation.”
The IRGC gave no details of any damage or casualties from the attack.
