Iran has claimed responsibility for targeting a US military installation in Bahrain, marking its first attempt to strike an American military facility in a Gulf country in more than two months.

However, US Central Command (CENTCOM) said American forces intercepted two Iranian drones and reported no casualties or damage. CENTCOM also disputed Tehran's claim that it had destroyed an American radar system.

The incident comes amid diminishing prospects for a diplomatic settlement. US President Donald Trump said Washington no longer needs an agreement with Tehran and redirected Vice President JD Vance away from negotiations.

Meanwhile, Iran faces mounting economic pressure from US sanctions and a naval blockade. Attacks on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz have also intensified.

According to Lloyd's List, October recorded 37 attacks on vessels, the highest monthly figure since the conflict began. Iran has warned that further escalation could expand its attacks against US interests.
