Iran claims first strike on US radar since September

Summary

Iran's Revolutionary Guards claimed to have struck a US early-warning radar in Bahrain, the first such claim since early September, hours after President Trump removed Vice President JD Vance from the Iran talks, leaving a fragile truce on shakier ground.⁠12

US Central Command denied that the radar had been destroyed and said it had intercepted two one-way attack drones launched at Bahrain by the Revolutionary Guards.⁠3

In the Strait of Hormuz, the Guards also said a liquefied gas carrier had hit a naval mine and exploded while crossing an unauthorized route, keeping maritime tension high.⁠4

In Israel, Netanyahu is reportedly pressing Trump to resume strikes on Iran and has sent Mossad chief Roman Gofman to Washington, according to Axios and the Jerusalem Post.⁠5

In Indonesia, Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka submitted his resignation to the People's Consultative Assembly on November 12 amid impeachment pressure over his overseas diploma documents, and President Prabowo Subianto accepted it.⁠6

In Norway, the Supreme Court voided three North Sea oil exploration licences and ordered the state to calculate the total emissions of each project, though the ruling has no immediate effect on production.⁠7

On Iran, Trump said on Thursday that the US does not need to reach a deal with Tehran, and in interviews the same day he threatened to destroy Iran's energy infrastructure and factories within three days; that deadline is the next checkpoint.⁠89
