A step towards war in the Middle East?
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced a missile strike on an American early warning radar station in Bahrain.
According to the Revolutionary Guards, the attack was in response to an airstrike on a tower in the city of Sirik in Hormuzgan province, southern Iran, located on the coast of the Strait of Hormuz.
The Iranians claim that the American radar station was destroyed. Authorities in the US and Bahrain have yet to comment on the incident, although locals say there were no explosions or fires.
For now we will leave this without specific analysis, as it is possible that no damage has been done at all. However, this is the first statement by the Revolutionary Guards about an attack on American military installations since the beginning of September.
As the strike group approaches Central Command's area of responsibility, tensions are gradually increasing, and a new round of conflict may be just around the corner.
