Two Months Later, Iran Strikes U.S. Military Facilities in the Middle East Again

Xinhua News Agency, Tehran, November 13 - The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps stated on the 13th that it struck and destroyed the U.S. military's early warning radar in Bahrain that day. This is the first known strike by Iran against U.S. military facilities in the Middle East in two months.

The statement read: "In response to the enemy's airstrike on a telecommunications tower in Sirik, the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps aircraft attacked and destroyed the U.S. military's early warning radar on Bahrain Island."

The statement said that this strike serves as "a severe warning to the enemy" and demanded that the adversary cease aerial provocations and oil smuggling activities in the Strait of Hormuz.

The United States and Bahrain have not yet responded to this.

According to reports from the Iranian Islamic Republic News Agency on the evening of the 12th, citing official sources, the Sirik area in Hormozgan Province, Iran, was subjected to military attacks by the enemy.

Following the U.S. midterm elections, there is heightened concern about whether the U.S. will resume large-scale military operations against Iran. According to U.S. media reports, the U.S. has conducted several small-scale attacks against Iran in recent times. Iran has consistently stated that it is in a state of maximum readiness, but since early September, there have been no public records of Iran responding in kind to small-scale attacks by U.S. forces.
