Iran's Revolutionary Guard says it's destroyed
a United States early warning radar in Bahrain,
the first such claim of an attack
on American military assets in the Gulf in months.
State media is reporting that the strike was in retaliation
for what it described as an air attack
on a telecommunications tower in southern Iran.
There was no immediate confirmation
of the strike by Manama or Washington.
The claim comes amid a fragile lull
in the conflict between Iran and the US,
and days after a public exhibition near Tehran
showcased Iranian-made drones and missiles.
Weapons on display included the Emad missile
that has a reported range of up to 1,700 kilometers,
and the Qiam ballistic missile
that can reach up to 2,000 kilometers.
Meanwhile, state TV on Tuesday broadcast heavily edited
and partially blurred video of an underground missile city
and new unidentified surface-to-surface missiles.
The war broke out on the 28th of February following
U.S.-Israeli strikes and has since spread across the region.
