Iran army drones strike US base in Bahrain, military source says

A military source, in an interview with the Tehran-based Fars news agency, revealed new details of an attack carried out this morning (Wednesday) by drone units of the Islamic Republic of Iran's army. According to the source, the Shaikh Isa Airbase and a strategic radar site belonging to US forces in Bahrain were targeted by the army's offensive drones. The army used a new drone in its attacks today, the source added.

The source described this action as part of Iran's response to US aggression last night against several points in Hormozgan province in southern Iran. Earlier, Iranian military sources announced that long-range ballistic missiles and drones of the Islamic Republic of Iran's armed forces had penetrated defense systems deployed at US bases in West Asia, hitting about 70 percent of targets precisely.

According to the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) and the army, the targets included the Al-Azraq Airbase in Jordan, the Ali Al-Salem Airbase in Kuwait, and the headquarters of the US Navy's Fifth Fleet in Bahrain. The report by Mehr News Agency, citing Fars, added that the attacks were in retaliation for US strikes on Iranian positions.
