On 13 November, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced that its Aerospace Force had destroyed a U.S. early-warning radar system in Bahrain.
An official statement said the strike was carried out in direct retaliation for a U.S. attack on a telecommunications tower in Sirik, a southern Iranian port city in Hormozgan province, on Thursday evening.
“This constitutes a serious warning to the aggressor enemy to put an end to its aerial provocations and oil smuggling in the Strait of Hormuz. If violations and aggressions are repeated, the IRGC Aerospace Force is on full alert to respond without geographical limits,” the statement reads.
During the 40 days of the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, Irasn struck more than 15 U.S. radar and satellite communications systems and
systematically targeted U.S. bases and high-value assets, driving the cost war more than 50 billions and effectively driving the U.S. forces out of Persian Gulf.
Earlier this week, Major General Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, declared that Tehran could strike U.S. bases in Europe if they are used to launch a new attack on the Islamic Republic.
He also stressed that Tehran will reopen the Strait of Hormuz once Washington meets its seven conditions, calling earlier U.S. proposals for diplomacy “deceptive.”
