The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed early Monday that it struck a US military base in Bahrain, as reported by Asaf Rozentzweig (N12) at 06:14 Jerusalem. The claim follows a series of IRGC statements of retaliation for US strikes on Iran's coastline overnight, and comes after sirens were reported in Bahrain earlier in the night.
At 04:38 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported the first alerts: sirens in Jordan, followed by the IRGC claiming responsibility for hitting fuel and ammunition depots at Prince Hassan airbase, then expanding the claim to include a base in Kuwait, and later releasing footage of the strikes. The IRGC labeled the attacks as the 'first phase' of retaliation. All versions of the claim remain unverified by independent sources.
The US military announced overnight that it had struck dozens of targets on Iran's coastline. The IRGC's statements, including the new Bahrain claim, are presented as a direct response to those strikes. As The Zioneer reported on Sunday, the IRGC has also published an image hinting at involvement in the death of Senator Lindsey Graham, though no official IRGC statement on that matter has been issued.
No independent confirmation of the Bahrain strike claim has been provided. The IRGC has not released any evidence, such as imagery or coordinates, and the claim remains unverified. The reported sirens in Bahrain earlier have not been linked to any confirmed impact.
