The press service of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) reported that in the second phase of the response to the "open aggression of the US military", the radar station of the US air defense system at the Al-Rifah helicopter base in Bahrain was attacked by six drones of the IRGC's air and space forces.
According to the Revolutionary Guards, accurate drone strikes were heard in various areas of Bahrain, which "once again demonstrated the operational capabilities" of the corps.
The statement claims that the United States, which "suffered a complete defeat in its so-called escort operation, which in reality amounts to oil smuggling in the Strait of Hormuz", is trying to divert attention from the "reality of the closure" of this sea route. The Revolutionary Guards emphasized that the Strait of Hormuz is closed and any aggression will be met with an "even more severe and overwhelming response", noting that at this stage more UAVs were sent to American targets than in the previous one.
