The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued a statement claiming responsibility for a drone attack on the U.S. Fifth Fleet in Bahrain.

The IRGC statement reads:

In response to the enemy's malicious act, IRGC naval forces launched a drone attack on the Fifth Fleet of Bahrain at 2:30 AM [2300Z]

Engagements are ongoing, and the valiant guardians of the Iranian nation are responding to the enemy's aggressions. Should these provocations persist, more severe responses are imminent.
