'Region's oil and gas exports are either for everyone or for no one': IRGC warns after claiming strikes on US 5th fleet base in Bahrain

Tehran: Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on Tuesday warned that the oil and gas export routes of the United States' allies could also be targeted after claiming strikes on the US Navy's Fifth Fleet base in Bahrain, saying, "the region's oil and gas exports are either for everyone or for no one."

According to the IRGC announcement, the force said it carried out the fifth wave of Operation Nasr 2, codenamed 'Mubarak Ya Ali ibn Abi Talib (AS)', and "smashed and destroyed" the NSI management centre [NSA Bahrain (Naval Support Activity Bahrain)], the command and control centre, large warehouses containing military parts and equipment, and fuel tanks at the US Fifth Fleet base in Bahrain.
