Middle East’s defense shield was hidden in Bahrain, Iran blew it up!
America has a total of 19 to 24 military bases in various countries across the Middle East. Of these, nine are the most important airbases. Qatar’s Al Udeid airbase is home to 10,000 American troops. UAE’s Aldafra Airbase is the most important airbase of the US Army. Apart from this, US Army has military bases in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Jordan, Türkiye and Bahrain. And in recent days, Iran has targeted US military bases across the Middle East. The objective is clear that whenever America shows aggression, Iran will respond with full force. But Iran’s retaliatory attacks have exposed many weaknesses of the US military. Even America’s strongest air defense and other weapons deployed at all these airbases have proved to be dwarf in front of Iranian drones and missiles.
In fact, America’s powerful AR327 long range surveillance radar has been destroyed in Bahrain. This radar was deployed at Jabal ad Dukhan airbase in Bahrain. The destruction of this radar in Iran’s attacks is a big blow to America and Arab countries. Because this radar was deployed at the most strategic place. From where it could assist other defense systems in the region, conduct maritime surveillance and track ballistic missiles throughout the Middle East. Iran has claimed to have destroyed it through geolocated photographs. In which smoke is visible blowing. Pictures taken from satellite show that this radar compound was attacked around June 11, 2026. 200 There has been limited official confirmation so far from Bahrain or America regarding the attack on this radar. But this attack matches Iran’s broader strategy. In which the most important radars of the enemy at the beginning of the Gulf conflict of 2026 And attempts were made to destroy the command and control centers by attacking them.
Let us tell you that this is a big blow for America and the Arabs because till now Iran has destroyed or damaged at least 14 radars of America and its allies. According to the information, Iran has destroyed four American AN TPy II ballistic missile defense radars which are used with the third air defense system. In addition, at least one ANFPS 132 strategic early warning radar was heavily damaged. In this entire conflict, the scale with which Iran fired the volleys of missiles had the effect of tiring the air defense systems of America and other countries. Due to which Tairan’s ballistic missiles were able to gain a considerable lead in the conflict. Apart from this, instead of blowing up US airbase aircraft shelters, Iran focused on destroying the sensor and data fusion systems of Patriot, Third Age and Naval Missile Defense System. Now by eliminating the AR 327 radar, Iran has eliminated the strength of its long-range sensor coverage. Due to which the defending countries will have less time to react and their power to identify missile drones will also reduce. Besides, the strength of the protective shield that provided the entire Gulf area from missile attacks has also reduced considerably.
