Iran has again shown aggression by attacking US military installations in Bahrain, raising the possibility of further deterioration of the situation in the Persian Gulf. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced the launch of six drones on radar systems in the US based on Al-Rifa helicopters, and emphasized that the operation is a response to the actions of the United States. Bahrain's military said it intercepted several aerial targets, but independent sources did not confirm the destruction of the American equipment. The increase in mutual attacks poses serious threats to shipping in the Persian Gulf and transportation of oil through the Straits of Hormuz, which is critical to the global energy sector.
