> Iranian media said the Revolutionary Guards launched six drones on Sunday morning at a US air-defence radar at Bahrain’s Al-Rifaa helicopter base, in retaliation for what they called hostile US actions. Bahrain said its air defences intercepted the attack before it reached its target, as strikes resumed in the Gulf after a lull since September.
