The spokesman for the Iranian Emergency Headquarters 'Khatam al-Anbiya' said the attack was retaliation for US strikes on Iranian coastal bases and civilian sites, claiming the radar and fuel station at Sheikh Isa airbase were completely destroyed. The claim is unverified by independent sources.
The spokesman for the Iranian Emergency Headquarters 'Khatam al-Anbiya' issued a statement Thursday morning claiming that Iranian forces struck the US-operated Sheikh Isa airbase in Bahrain, destroying its radar system and a fuel pumping station for enemy aircraft. The statement framed the attack as retaliation for what it called 'US crimes' — a strike on coastal bases and civilian sites in Iran overnight.
The claim adds to a series of Iranian statements reporting attacks on US military assets across the region since the eruption of direct US-Iran hostilities. The Zioneer has previously reported on Iranian claims of attacks on US bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, Jordan, and Qatar. The current claim focuses on Sheikh Isa, a key US air hub in Bahrain.
No independent confirmation of the reported damage has emerged, and no official US or Bahraini statement has been released. The spokesman concluded with 'this battle continues,' suggesting further escalation may be forthcoming.
