Iran published satellite imagery that it says confirms a drone and missile strike completely destroyed the US AR-327 early-warning radar site on Jabal ad Dukhan, Bahrain, according to the Fotros Resistancee channel. The radar is reportedly capable of tracking targets at a range of approximately 470 km.
Iranian sources released satellite imagery at 18:39 Jerusalem on June 11, which they say confirms the complete destruction of the US AR-327 early-warning radar site on Jabal ad Dukhan, Bahrain. The images, published via the Fotros Resistancee channel, are the most explicit visual evidence of the strike to date. This release comes hours after The Zioneer, at 14:03 Jerusalem, reported on satellite imagery that first indicated severe damage to the site; the current imagery appears to be the same or overlapping material now presented by Iran as official confirmation, explicitly identifying the radar as the AR-327 system with a detection range of approximately 470 km.
The story began at 14:03 Jerusalem on June 11, when unverified videos showed a fire at a US radar facility on Mount Jabal al-Dukhan following an Iranian drone strike. Within the same hour, Iran's regular army (Artesh) claimed responsibility, and a second set of satellite imagery carried by a desk-reviewed report described the site as severely damaged or destroyed. All of these early assessments were explicitly unverified or attributed to a single source. The evolution of corroboration has been limited: the earlier satellite images were from a single source, and the current release, while more explicit, is also from Iranian-aligned sources (Fotros Resistancee) and has not been independently verified.
The strike is part of a broader Iranian retaliatory campaign against US and allied positions. As The Zioneer reported on June 10 at 11:01 Jerusalem, Iran struck targets in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan in retaliation for US airstrikes on Iranian air defense sites. On June 11 at 15:00 Jerusalem, Bahrain confirmed that 36 Iranian drones had been launched at the kingdom, causing vehicle fires and minor shrapnel injuries to a child. Additional context includes footage of a Patriot system intercepting Iranian missiles over southern Bahrain (The Zioneer, June 10, 05:59 Jerusalem) and a report of possible Iranian missile damage to an F-16 at a Jordanian air base (The Zioneer, 13:36 Jerusalem).
The extent of any US military casualties at the Jabal ad Dukhan site remains unreported, and the Iranian imagery and identification have not been independently corroborated by US or third-party sources.
