Iran threatens unlimited response over Strait of Hormuz after US attack
Iran has threatened an unlimited response over the Strait of Hormuz after the United States attacked a telecommunications centre in Iran, according to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The warning raises the stakes around one of the most sensitive points in the unfolding confrontation, as Tehran links the US strike directly to its decision to target American military infrastructure in the region.
The IRGC says it destroyed a US early-warning radar in Bahrain in retaliation for the attack. The radar was identified as an American system located on the Gulf island, making the reported strike a direct response against a US-linked installation outside Iran’s borders. Iran’s message combines the claimed military action with a broader warning focused on the Strait of Hormuz, signalling that its response may not be limited to the telecommunications centre or the radar site.
Al Jazeera’s Resul Serdar Atas reports from Tehran, where the Iranian position is being presented as retaliation rather than an isolated operation. The account describes a sequence of escalation: a US attack on communications infrastructure in Iran, an IRGC claim that a US early-warning radar in Bahrain was destroyed, and an accompanying threat of further action connected to the Strait of Hormuz.
