The Revolutionary Guards claim that early in the morning, Iran, in response to the US shelling, hit the radar of the American air defense system at the Ar-Rafaah helicopter base in Bahrain. In the past, the IDF announced an attack on an early warning radar station in the Kingdom.
In a new statement, the Revolutionary Guards said the Strait of Hormuz remained closed and Washington's attempts to arrange an escort for the ships had failed. The elite group warns that any American attack will provoke an even harsher response.
