Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says its claimed strike on a US early-warning radar in Bahrain was 'a serious warning' to stop aerial provocations and oil smuggling in Hormuz.
The IRGC statement was carried by Fars, Iran International reports. It says the radar was 'targeted and destroyed' in response to the strike on a telecommunications tower in Sirik. It repeats that the IRGC Aerospace Force is 'on full alert for an unrestricted response' if there are further violations.
The Khaleej Times live blog, using wire copy, also describes it as the first Iranian claim of an attack on US assets in a Gulf country since early September.
There has been no confirmation from the US or Bahrain in reports so far. Iran's claim has not been independently verified.
