TEHRAN — Iran’s Revolutionary Guards announced on Wednesday that they had attacked a U.S. base in Bahrain, responding to what they claimed were U.S. strikes on Iranian soil earlier in the day.
The Guards stated that the U.S. had attacked several points in Jask, Sirik, and Qeshm, damaging a telecommunications mast and destroying water tanks in Sirik.
