According to Al Jazeera, the U.S. Central Command stated that it shot down two attack drones launched by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on Friday, with no casualties or damage reported. This followed claims by the IRGC that it had struck a U.S. early-warning radar in Bahrain in retaliation for what it described as airstrikes on telecommunications towers in southern Iran. The report's headline noted that the U.S. denied the claim of strikes on two radar stations in Bahrain. Meanwhile, an Al Jazeera reporter clarified that neither side's claims could be independently verified.
