Iran's Revolutionary Guards said the seventeenth wave of Operation Nasr 2 struck a depot of unmanned vessels in Bahrain early Saturday, claiming many caught fire. The IRGC also said several ballistic missiles and more than ten drones completely destroyed what it called Bahrain's main artificial-intelligence center, alleging it aided U.S. targeting. The statement offered no evidence, precise location, casualty report or independent damage assessment. Hebrew wire reports described the first target as an American drone warehouse, a material difference from the IRGC's unmanned-vessel wording; neither Bahrain nor the United States confirmed either claim in the verified reports.
