The Kingdom of Bahrain condemns the ongoing brutal Iranian assaults on its territory.

Bahrain Condemns Ongoing Iranian Aggressions

The Kingdom of Bahrain has strongly condemned the continued Iranian aggressions against its territory, including an attack that occurred on Sunday. Drones targeted the kingdom, but Bahrain’s air defense systems intercepted and destroyed them.

Recent Attacks Highlight Ongoing Threats

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in a statement published by the Bahrain News Agency (BNA), noted that this incident followed a similar attack two days prior, when two drones were also intercepted. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps explicitly claimed responsibility for these attacks.

Defense Forces Praised for Their Vigilance

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs praised the efficiency and readiness of Bahrain’s Defense Force in responding to the recent aggression. The ministry emphasized that these attacks represent a continuation of Iran’s unlawful actions against Bahrain and other regional countries. Bahrain views these aggressions as blatant violations of its sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well as a serious breach of United Nations Security Council Resolution 2817, which condemned Iranian attacks on Bahrain and neighboring countries and called for an immediate cessation of hostilities.

Bahrain Rejects Iranian Justifications

The ministry firmly rejected the baseless justifications and false claims made by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps. It asserted that no excuse can justify an attack on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of nations. The freedom of navigation and transit, both by sea and air, in straits used for international navigation is a right protected by international law and is not subject to the will or conditions of any state. Bahrain also rejected the notion of allowing its territory to become a battleground for settling scores, holding Iran fully responsible for these aggressions and their consequences.
