Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has said it launched a drone attack on a US military facility in Bahrain. This marks the second time in recent days that Iran has made such a claim.

The IRGC said in a statement on Sunday that it used six drones to attack the radar site in response to what it called "aggression" by the US military.

But Bahrain announced on the same day that it had intercepted Iranian projectiles before they could reach their targets.

The IRGC said on Friday that it had attacked a US military facility in Bahrain. But the US military said at the time that it had shot down two Iranian attack drones heading toward Bahrain.

In recent weeks, Iran has repeatedly claimed that vessels caught fire after they hit mines in or near the Strait of Hormuz.

Talks between the United States and Iran remain deadlocked. Analysts say the situation in the Middle East will be on the agenda when the leaders of the US, China and Russia gather for a trilateral summit in China on Thursday.
