Iran's Guards say two tankers hit in Hormuz, US defence systems targeted in Bahrain

Iran's Revolutionary Guards said on Tuesday they hit US military targets including air defence systems in Bahrain and Kuwait, state news agency IRNA reported.

The Guards said they struck two air defence systems and a radar installation at two different US outposts in Bahrain, as well as missile defence systems and radars and satellite reception systems in Kuwait.

"With this radar sweep, the enemy should prepare for even more decisive and powerful waves of drone and missile attacks," the Guards said in a statement carried by IRNA.


The announcement came as the United States said it struck Iranian military command centres, air defence systems and missile launch sites in overnight attacks.
