Iran’s Revolutionary Guard has claimed that six drones targeted a US air-defence radar system at the Al Riffa helicopter base in Bahrain. The immediate documented development for residents is Bahrain’s public safety alert, issued as Iran extended its military claim to Bahraini territory.
La Repubblica reported that the Guard made the claim in a Telegram statement. The report also said explosions and alarm sirens were heard in Bahrain. Bahrain’s Interior Ministry urged residents to remain calm, go to the nearest safe place and follow updates through official channels.
The alert gives the episode a direct civilian consequence beyond the Guard’s statement. It does not turn the claim of targeting into evidence that the radar was struck or damaged: the supplied report says the Guard claimed to have targeted it.
The story is therefore the combination of an Iranian claim involving a US installation in Bahrain and an immediate safety instruction from Bahraini authorities to residents.
