Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said missiles and drones struck U.S. military radar and air-defense systems at two locations in Bahrain. It identified a radar and air-defense system in Muharraq, plus a radar and Patriot system in Riffa. The claim was issued as U.S. forces completed a tenth consecutive night of strikes on Iranian command centers, maritime capabilities, launch sites and air defenses. No independent confirmation of damage was immediately available, while Bahrain has condemned Iranian attacks that endangered civilian air navigation.
