Iran war, Pasdaran: US warning radar station hit in Bahrain. LIVE

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has targeted a US early warning radar in Bahrain. It is the first claim of an attack against American military targets in a Gulf country since early September. The attack was reportedly in retaliation following an air raid on a telecommunications tower in southern Iran's Sirik county, Hormozgan province.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) urged Iran to take "gradual measures" to allow inspectors to return to the Islamic Republic's main nuclear facilities, stressing that such access is "critical". Tehran replies: "It's useless to talk about monitoring as long as we are at risk of attack."

An American 'MQ1 Predator' drone was shot down by the Iranian Navy's defense system in the Kohstak region, Sirik coast, Strait of Hormuz. This is what the Iranian agency IRNA writes. “A few hours ago an American enemy drone 'MQ10' was successfully intercepted and shot down by the modern defense system of the Navy of the Islamic Republic of Iran, as part of the integrated network of the country's joint air defense headquarters, in the Kohstak region (Sirik coast),” the agency writes. “We will not hesitate for a single moment to protect and defend the territorial integrity, maritime borders and interests of the Islamic Republic of Iran,” the Tehran Navy underlined.

Iran told the United Nations nuclear agency this month that discussions on nuclear monitoring cannot proceed as long as the country is threatened by military attacks. The AP writes it on its website. According to a confidential International Atomic Energy Agency report released to member states, Iran has insisted that discussions on resuming inspections in the country cannot resume due to "a series of persistent, explicit and public threats by the President of the United States of America... to commit further acts of armed aggression" against Iran, "targeting in particular its nuclear facilities." Iran said the situation will not be resolved "until the root causes of the current situation are addressed and essential requirements for the normal implementation of safeguards are restored," the report added. Iran has not allowed IAEA inspectors access to nuclear sites hit by Israeli and US strikes during the 12-day war in June 2025. The IAEA has also been unable to verify the status of Iran's stockpile of near-weaponable uranium since the June bombings. Iran, however, reiterated its "firm commitment to resume full implementation of its safeguard obligations as soon as legal and factual conditions allow".

Israeli police have announced that they have deployed snipers on the rooftops of Rahat, a Bedouin town in the south of the country, in an attempt to ferret out armed terrorists in the area. One of the snipers' tasks will be to "neutralize" any armed man who opens fire in the city, the police specify. The snipers were positioned after intense gunfire was heard in Rahat in recent days and after the police discovered numerous weapons caches in the area. "For a month we have witnessed clashes in three areas involving six families and two young people were killed," said the mayor of Rahat, Talal al-Kernawi, writes Haaretz. "In recent days there has been continuous shooting which endangers the lives of civilians not involved in the conflicts." Police say “Southern District law enforcement is working to identify criminal elements and bring them to justice in order to reduce shootings.”

The Israeli national under-19 football team in Fermo for the qualifying matches of the 2027 European Championship: the protest of the Marche coordination for Palestine starts in view of the match against Italy on Tuesday 17 November at the Recchioni stadium. The invitation is to "take to the field" to participate in the demonstration that will be organized at the same time as the match near the stadium. "The holding of three matches of the Israeli national team in Fermo for the European Under-19 football championship represents an offense for our territory and a shame for its institutions. - the activists argue - For over three years, before the eyes of the whole world, without interruption, the Gaza Strip has been the scene of an extermination which has already wiped out tens of thousands of lives, in respect of which the International Court of Justice has formally initiated proceedings for genocide against Israel, which it continues to carry forward, even in West Bank, colonization policies that deny the Palestinian people's right to exist. Allowing these matches to be organized and played is a surrender to massacres but also to hypocrisy and indifference."

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has called on Iran to take "gradual measures" to allow its inspectors to regain access to the country's main nuclear facilities. A step defined as "essential" in a confidential report consulted by AFP. “The Director General encourages Iran to adopt gradual technical measures, thanks to which the conditions will be created to allow the return of the Agency's inspectors to Iran,” the document reads. The IAEA has no longer had access to the Islamic Republic's nuclear facilities since June 2025, after the bombing of some sites by Israel and the United States.

“A few hours ago, units of the Revolutionary Guards Aerospace Force targeted and destroyed a radar warning of US attackers on the island of Bahrain, in response to enemy air aggression against a telecommunications tower in Sirik.” Iran's Revolutionary Guards said this in a statement, referring to a port city in southern Iran. "This is a serious warning addressed to the aggressor enemy, to put an end to his aerial provocations and oil smuggling in the Strait of Hormuz", continues the note, published by the state broadcaster on Telegram.

US President Donald Trump would consider the possibility that the Iranian regime remains in power until the end of his mandate a defeat. He said this during an interview with the Salem News Channel, reported by the Israeli press, answering a specific question on the point: "yes, it would be a defeat, absolutely". As for further resorting to military action, "if I saw things taking a different turn, I would do it. It's possible that I would do it even now."
