United States forces have shot down two Iranian attack drones that were heading towards Bahrain.
This was disclosed in a statement on X by the US Central Command, CENTCOM, on Friday.
CENTCOM stated that the drones were launched by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, IRGC.
"The IRGC launched two one-way attack drones toward Bahrain and both were shot down by US forces," CENTCOM said.
It added that there were no injuries or damage from the attempted attack.
The statement came after the IRGC claimed its forces had targeted and destroyed a US early-warning radar system on the island of Bahrain.
The Iranian military said the alleged strike was carried out in retaliation for what it described as an American air attack on a telecommunications tower in Sirik, in Iran's southern Hormozgan Province.
CENTCOM rejected the claim, insisting that the drones were intercepted before they could reach their target.
Bahrain hosts the headquarters of the US Navy's Fifth Fleet, which oversees American naval operations across the Gulf and surrounding waters.
The latest claims come amid a fragile lull in the conflict between the United States and Iran, which began with US and Israeli strikes on Iran on February 28 and has since spread across the region.
