US-Iran Gulf Escalation: IRGC Claims Bahrain Radar Strike, US Intercepts Drones

Iran's IRGC claims to have destroyed a US early-warning radar in Bahrain and downed a US MQ-1 drone over Qeshm Island, threatening Hormuz closure. The US denies the radar strike, confirming only the interception of two Iranian drones targeting Bahrain, and has not confirmed the drone loss. This marks a direct military confrontation and attempted strikes by Iran against US assets in the Gulf, raising the risk of broader conflict.
