IRGC Claims Bahrain Strike Hit P-8 Hangar and U.S. Drone Command Center

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed early Monday that its second retaliatory phase struck facilities at Sheikh Isa Air Base in Bahrain. The IRGC said targets included helicopter-maintenance sites, a hangar housing a U.S. Navy P-8 maritime patrol aircraft and a command-and-control center for American military drones. Bahrain sounded missile-alert sirens twice as Iran answered renewed U.S. attacks on Iranian sites. No Bahraini or U.S. authority had independently confirmed any hit or damage at publication time, so the reported effects remain an Iranian military claim amid a widening confrontation across Israel's U.S.-aligned Gulf partners.
