US says it shot down two Iranian drones heading towards Bahrain

The US military has shot down two Iranian attack drones that were heading towards Bahrain, according to a report by Middle East Eye. The US Central Command (Centcom) confirmed that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched the drones, but denied allegations that it had struck a US early-warning radar system in the Gulf kingdom.

This conflicting account comes at a time when some US lawmakers are questioning the Pentagon's disclosure of details surrounding incidents in the conflict, and skepticism has also been circulating on social media.
