伊朗當地時間週五（13日）清晨證實，為報復美軍對伊朗領土發動空襲，已出手鎖定巴林的一處美軍基地發動攻擊，這也是伊朗睽違2個多月以來，首度直接對波斯灣國家的軍事設施動手。對此，美軍中央司令部（CENTCOM）隨即證實擊落2架伊朗無人機，並痛批伊朗宣稱摧毀美軍雷達的說法「純屬謊言」。而在局勢升溫之際，以色列情報機構「摩薩德」局長高夫曼（Roman Gofman）也緊急飛抵華府，傳出以國總理納坦雅胡正極力遊說美國重啟對伊朗的全面戰爭。
根據伊朗半官方媒體《塔斯尼姆通訊社》報導，伊朗伊斯蘭革命衛隊（IRGC）發表聲明指出，為回應敵軍對伊朗錫里克（Sirik）一座通訊塔的空中侵略，革命衛隊航太部隊已鎖定並摧毀「侵略者美軍位於巴林的預警雷達」，更放話這只是對華府的「嚴正警告」。
不過美軍中央司令部稍晚隨即打臉，強調美軍在巴林上空成功擊落2架來襲的伊朗無人機，現場並無任何人員傷亡或設施受損，直指伊朗所謂「攻擊雷達系統」的說法完全不實。事實上，儘管美軍近幾週持續在荷姆茲海峽周邊打擊伊朗目標，但德黑蘭自9月初以來便極力避免直接攻擊波斯灣國家的美軍基地，轉而將重心放在干擾該海峽的海上航運。
🇮🇷🇧🇭|Bahrain: The Satellite Imagery Is Out. The AR-327 Radar at Jabal Ad-Dukhan Is Gone. The Fifth Fleet Is Blind at the Head. The IRGC Aerospace Force announced the strike on Friday, 13 November 2026. The target was the US early-warning radar on Bahrain Island. The retaliation was for the US air attack on a telecommunications tower in Sirik, Hormozgan Province two days earlier. The satellite imagery released by Iranian media shows the before and after. The radar is the AR-327 long-range air surveillance radar at Jabal Ad-Dukhan. It is the sensor that feeds the air picture for the US Navy's Fifth Fleet, headquartered at Naval Support Activity Bahrain in Manama. The Radar That Was Destroyed The AR-327 is a three-coordinate, long-range air surveillance radar. It is not a point-defence radar. It is the wide-area sensor that detects aircraft and missiles at extended range and feeds the track data to the Fifth Fleet's command centre and the Patriot batteries on the island. The AP analysis of the satellite imagery confirmed damage to the protective structures and infrastructure linked to US radars in Bahrain, but the agency did not conclusively establish that the specific system identified by Iran had been completely destroyed. The Iranian media presented the imagery as the proof of the kill. The IRGC called the strike a "serious warning" to stop the "aerial provocations and oil smuggling in the Strait of Hormuz" and stated that if the violations recur, the IRGC Aerospace Force stands in full readiness to engage without limits. The Fifth Fleet's Blind Spot The Fifth Fleet is the US naval command for the Middle East. Its headquarters at NSA Bahrain is the main command centre for US naval operations in the region. The radar at Jabal Ad-Dukhan was the long-range eye for that headquarters. It detected threats before they reached the fleet. Without that radar, the Fifth Fleet's air picture is degraded. The Patriot batteries on the island lose their cueing data. The Aegis destroyers in port lose their early track. The Pentagon inspector general's report released in September 2026 found that Iranian attacks damaged or destroyed hundreds of buildings at US installations in eight countries, including Bahrain, in the first four months of the war. Analysts stated that several US bases in the region have been almost rendered unusable. The radar at Jabal Ad-Dukhan was already damaged in the June 2026 strikes. The 13 November strike finished the job. The Sirik Pretext The US struck a telecommunications tower in Sirik, Hormozgan Province, on Thursday, 12 November. The IRGC stated the tower was a civilian communications node. The US described the target as having a "military nature". The IRGC's response was proportionate in category, disproportionate in value. A telecommunications tower on the Iranian coast is a communications relay. The AR-327 radar at Jabal Ad-Dukhan is the early-warning sensor for the Fifth Fleet. The exchange was not symmetrical. The radar is the more valuable target. The Rate of the Campaign The 13 November strike is the first Iranian-claimed attack on US military assets inside a Gulf country since early September. The rate of the campaign slowed. The target set did not. The radar was destroyed. The message is that the IRGC can reach the Fifth Fleet's sensor whenever it chooses. The Bill The target: the AR-327 long-range air surveillance radar at Jabal Ad-Dukhan, Bahrain. The strike: IRGC Aerospace Force, Friday 13 November 2026, in retaliation for the US attack on the telecommunications tower in Sirik, Hormozgan Province. The proof: satellite imagery released by Iranian media, showing before and after the strike. The AP analysis: confirmed damage to protective structures and infrastructure linked to US radars in Bahrain; did not conclusively establish complete destruction. The US and Bahraini response: no immediate comment from Washington or Manama. The Pentagon inspector general's finding: Iranian attacks damaged or destroyed hundreds of buildings at US installations in eight countries, including Bahrain, in the first four months of the war. The context: the radar was already damaged in the June 2026 strikes. The radar at Jabal Ad-Dukhan is gone. The Fifth Fleet is blind at the head. The AR-327 is the receipt.

伊朗發動這次襲擊的前一天，美國總統川普（Donald Trump）才剛在自家社群平台Truth Social發文放話，「我們不需要跟伊朗達成協議，那些日子早就過去了！我們掌握了他們數千億美元的資金，也掌控了他們的海峽！」川普更直接下令原本負責主導美伊談判的副總統范斯（JD Vance），把全部精力轉移到打擊民主黨執政州與城市的貪腐及犯罪問題，形同宣告美伊談判破局。
與此同時，以色列情報機構「摩薩德」局長高夫曼週五也現身華府，預計與美國中央情報局（CIA）局長雷克里夫（John Ratcliffe）會面。知情人士透露，以色列總理納坦雅胡（Benjamin Netanyahu）近期不斷施壓川普政府，希望美國在期中選舉前重啟對伊朗的軍事打擊；兩名以色列消息人士甚至指出，納坦雅胡一度考慮由以軍「單方面空襲伊朗」，不過這項行動仍需獲得川普點頭放行。由於納坦雅胡目前已失去執政多數優勢，他可能一意孤行開戰的風險引發高度憂慮，連主要政治對手埃森科特（Gadi Eisenkot）都罕見要求並聽取了總理的安全簡報。
面對美國嚴厲的經濟制裁與海上封鎖，伊朗高層也展現強硬態度。伊朗總統裴澤斯基安（Masoud Pezeshkian）週一透露，最高領袖穆傑塔巴．哈米尼（Mojtaba Khamenei）已下達指示，要求政府「結束這種不戰不和的僵局」，並直言伊朗有能力「有尊嚴地談判，也有能力有尊嚴地結束這場戰爭」。
不過戰略要道荷姆茲海峽的局勢卻持續惡化，海事情報機構《勞氏日報》週五指出，10月該海域共發生37起船隻遇襲事件，創下衝突爆發以來單月最高紀錄，11月至今也已證實至少14起攻擊。儘管航運頻頻受阻，中東石油出口復原速度仍快於全球需求，國際能源總署（IEA）週五更評估全球石油供應自開戰以來首度超越需求，市場出現初步再平衡跡象。不過伊朗已發出嚴厲警告，一旦戰事再度升級，伊朗將大幅擴大報復範圍，屆時就連遠在歐洲的美國利益目標都可能淪為攻擊對象。
