If you live in Kuwait and have been keeping half an eye on the news from the Gulf, today’s story is one more reason to keep watching. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards say they struck a US early warning radar on the island of Bahrain, just a short flight from Kuwait’s own coast.
The US military says that’s not true. It says it shot down two drones heading for Bahrain and that nothing was damaged. As we reported on 2 November, this back-and-forth over what actually happened on the ground has become a pattern in this war.
- Iran’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) say their forces destroyed a US early warning radar system in Bahrain.
- The US military’s Central Command (CENTCOM) denies the radar was damaged and says it shot down two Iranian drones instead.
- CENTCOM reported no casualties and no damage from the incident.
- Iran says the move was payback for a US strike on a telecoms tower in Sirik, near the Strait of Hormuz.
