Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said on Wednesday that they have struck a US base in Bahrain following attacks on the Islamic republic over a downed American helicopter.
“The warmongering US regime attacked several points in Jask, Sirik and Qeshm early this morning under false pretexts, damaging a telecommunications mast in Sirik and destroying two water tanks in the city,” the Guards said in a statement quoted by Iranian media.
“In response to the enemy’s vicious move, the IRGC naval fighters launched a drone strike on the Bahraini 5th Navy at 2:30 am (23:00 GMT) on Tuesday,” they added, warning heavier responses if the attacks continue.
