Iran claimed it destroyed a U.S. early-warning radar, the first attack of its kind in months, but the United States denied the claim.
The U.S. and Iran have launched sporadic strikes against lower-level targets for the past several months after intensive strikes halted. Iran’s attacks usually target shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, while the U.S. usually launches tit-for-tat retaliatory strikes against targets across Iran’s coast. After the U.S. hit a communications tower overlooking the Strait of Hormuz in the city of Sirik, Iran upped the ante by retaliating with a drone attack targeting an early-warning radar in Bahrain, an attack the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed was successful.
