Bahrain announced on Sunday that he had investigated and destroyed several Iranian air strikes, while Tehran claimed he had hit an American military base in this Persian Gulf state, at a time when it remains unclear whether agreement will be reached to end the war between the United States, Israel and Iran.
These were the first intercepts by Bahrain air defence since September. They followed two warnings of possible threats, through which residents were asked to seek refuge, broadcast Telegrafi.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard troops claimed they had attacked an American military base in Bahrain, in response to retaliation for the hostile activities of the US, Iranian news agency Fars reported.
Bahrain’s army said its air defence systems had been intercepted by several Iranian attacks before they could achieve targets. She accused Tehran of continuing his systematic hostile approach to the kingdom.
Meanwhile, Revolutionary Guard claimed it had issued six fears towards American air defence radar at the Al-Rifa helicopter base in Bahrain, Iranian state television Press TV reported. So far there has been no immediate confirmation from the American or Bahrain authorities.
Bahrain, where the U.S. Navy Fifth Fleet is, urged citizens and residents to remain calm and head for the nearest safe shelter, the Interior Ministry reported.
Two days earlier, Revolutionary Guard had claimed to have attacked an American radar installation for early warning in Bahrain. The U.S. Army denied this claim, saying it was intercepting two Iranian fears and that no damage was caused.
Diplomatic efforts to end the conflict, which is entering the ninth month, have not yet produced any concrete progress. Sporadic attacks, meanwhile, are continuing despite a calmer period in fighting between the US and Iran.
The war began on February 28th, with U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran, to later spread throughout the region. Tehran retaliated with missile attacks and fears of American military bases in Gulf countries.
US President Donald Trump has declared in recent days that he can refrain from attacks on Iran if Tehran and the Huth rebels in Yemen, backed by Iran, do not undertake new provocations. However, he has said the US will continue the naval blockade, Reuters reported on Saturday.
In another development, the Huth rebels and the Saudi-led coalition, which fights against them, have continued to exchange attacks.
The coalition announced on Sunday that it had investigated two ballistic missiles issued by Huth in the direction of Saudi capital, Riyadh, as well as three fears in the eastern province of Saudi Arabia, a oil-rich region. /Telegraphy/
