Tehran, MINA – Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said on Sunday (March 29) that it launched missile and drone attacks on aluminium factories in Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates over the weekend.
The IRGC said the two industries were linked to the US military, Arab News reported.
In a statement carried by Iranian state broadcaster IRIB, the Guards said they hit an aluminum facility in the UAE and Aluminium Bahrain’s main plant, calling both sites “industries affiliated with and connected to the US military and aerospace sectors in the region.”
The IRGC said the strikes were retaliation for a US-Israeli attack on Iranian industrial infrastructure launched from bases in Gulf states.
