Iran’s Revolutionary Guards say that they have struck a US base in Bahrain, following attacks on the Islamic republic over a downed American helicopter, reports AFP.
“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 (2300 GMT Tuesday),” they added, warning “heavier responses” if the attacks continue.
