The IRGC said it destroyed a US air defence system and radar in Bahrain's Muharraq area and a Patriot system in Riffa, and that it hit radar, telecommunications, satellite and missile defence sites at Ahmed Al-Jaber and Ali Al Salem air bases in Kuwait, including an MQ-9 drone hangar, Al Jazeera and Middle East Eye reported on 21 July. Iran's army said drones hit Bahrain's Sheikh Isa base and buildings at Camp Arifjan, and the IRGC said it destroyed a missile defence radar and an F-15 in a shelter in Jordan. Tasnim carried an IRGC claim that cruise missiles destroyed Amazon's central data infrastructure in Bahrain. None of these claims was independently confirmed in the reports we saw.
