US shoots down two Iranian drones over Bahrain amid rising tensions

US Central Command says it has shot down two Iranian drones over Bahrain, denying claims by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard that it destroyed an American early-warning radar installation there.

The incident — the first Iranian attack on US military assets in a Gulf state since early September — comes as US President Donald Trump has shut down negotiations with Tehran, declaring on social media that Washington does not need a deal with Iran.

The president has reassigned Vice President JD Vance away from the talks, directing him instead to focus on domestic issues.

Nick Harper reports from Washington.
