Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced on Sunday that it had targeted a radar belonging to the US air defence system at the Riffa Air Base in Bahrain using six drones, confirming that the drones had accurately and successfully reached their targets.
The IRGC explained that the sound of the drones reaching their targets was heard in various parts of Bahrain. It noted that “a larger number of Iranian drones are being deployed against US targets at this stage compared with the previous phase”, while “expensive American drones are falling one after another”.
Regarding the Strait of Hormuz, the IRGC said the United States had suffered a “resounding failure” in what it promotes as an operation to escort ships, arguing that it was, in reality, “an operation to smuggle oil through the strait”.
It added that Washington was attempting, through what it described as limited and random movements, to divert the world’s attention from the reality that this vital maritime artery had been closed.
The IRGC stressed that its officers were “reaffirming clearly and unequivocally that the Strait of Hormuz is closed”, warning that any new US aggression would be met with “an even harsher and more forceful response”.
In a related development, the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy announced that two oil tankers in violation of regulations had exploded and caught fire after striking naval mines in the Strait of Hormuz.
