US denies Iran destroyed American radar system in Bahrain

The US military has denied Iranian claims that its forces destroyed an American early-warning radar system in Bahrain, saying two Iranian drones targeting the country were intercepted without causing damage. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says the attack was retaliation for a US strike on a telecommunications tower in Iran. Tehran has also warned Washington against further military operations and what it describes as oil smuggling through the Strait of Hormuz. The IRGC has separately claimed that a liquefied petroleum gas carrier caught fire after hitting a naval mine in the strait. Meanwhile, diplomatic efforts remain uncertain, with both sides maintaining competing demands and military pressure across the region.
