The Bahraini Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed its country’s condemnation in the strongest terms of the Iranian attack on its territory, targeting it again with a number of ballistic missiles and drones.
In a statement today, it described this targeting as a dangerous continuation that reveals that what Tehran is doing is not a passing act or an isolated incident, but rather a deliberate approach and a systematic pattern of repeated aggression against Bahrain’s sovereignty and the security of its citizens and residents of its land.
The Ministry indicated that the recurrence of this aggression today confirms the validity of Bahrain’s previous warnings regarding Tehran’s violation of its pledges and the international will embodied in Security Council Resolution No. 2817 (2026), indicating that the Iranian regime is continuing its approach without regard to international condemnations or the pledges it has made, stressing that the repetition of the aggression will not impose a fait accompli and will not undermine the resolve of Bahrain and the steadfastness of its people.
The Bahraini Foreign Ministry explained that this repetition rejects every pretext and proves premeditation, especially since it comes in the wake of Tehran’s commitments under the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding signed on June 17, 2026, which stipulated a permanent cessation of military operations and respect for the sovereignty of countries in the region, which places Tehran alone responsible for undermining the chances of calm and stability.
It called on the UN Security Council to hold an urgent session and assume its responsibilities to ensure the implementation of its resolution No. 2817 (2026), put an end to this ongoing aggression, and hold its perpetrator accountable.
Bahrain stressed that this attack does not target Bahrain alone, but rather represents a direct threat to the security of the entire Gulf Cooperation Council system, stressing that it reserves its full legitimate right to defend its sovereignty, security and territorial integrity in accordance with what is guaranteed by international law, and holds the Iranian regime fully responsible for any escalation resulting from its continued attacks.
