Iran's Revolutionary Guard claims it destroyed a U.S. early-warning radar in Bahrain as Tehran says more tankers hit mines in Hormuz
Iran's Revolutionary Guard said it destroyed a U.S. early-warning radar in Bahrain, its first such claim in months, and said a tanker hit a mine in the Strait of Hormuz; neither claim could be independently verified, the AP reported. Al Jazeera reported the Guard called the strike a response to an attack on a telecommunications tower in Sirik on Thursday, and that Iran's navy said it shot down a U.S. MQ-1 Predator drone over the strait. Reuters reported Iran's military said four tankers were hit by explosions after ignoring its warnings, with at least 10 ships hit in the first 10 days of November after 37 attacks in October, according to the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.
