Morning update

Good morning Middle East Eye readers,

Here are the latest developments:

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced that its forces targeted a US early-warning radar in Bahrain in retaliation to an attack on a telecommunications tower in Iran’s Sirik. "Should these violations and acts of aggression recur, the IRGC Aerospace Force stands in full readiness to engage without limits," the IRGC was quoted as saying by local media.

US President Donald Trump said he could use military force against Iran with "no hesitation" if Washington's ships and allies are threatened. Trump also claimed that the US has suffered no losses in recent months, despite reports and official figures indicating that over a dozen soldiers have died as a result of the war on Iran.
