Iran: Iranian army announced Thursday it targeted key US military facilities at Bahrain's Sheikh Isa Air Base using one-way attack drones amid ongoing exchanges between Tehran and Washington across the Middle East.

According to Anadolu Agency, the army's public relations office stated that the operation was in retaliation for the killing of an Iranian Air Force Su-24 pilot at the onset of the US-Israeli conflict with Iran in February, as reported by the official IRNA news agency.

The army claimed that the drones successfully hit power generators, navigation systems, and administrative buildings used by the US military at the base. It further alleged that recent attacks on US bases in the region have caused 'significant damage' to military equipment and facilities, despite the presence of robust air defense systems.

Sheikh Isa Air Base is described as a crucial US military installation in the Gulf area, hosting reconnaissance aircraft and acting as a key maintenance hub for helicopters and drone components. The statement from the Iranian military suggested that repeated attacks have severely impaired the base's combat and logistical support functions.

There has been no immediate response from Bahraini or US authorities regarding these claims.
