The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed the Kingdom of Bahrain’s condemnation in the strongest terms of the targeting of its territory at dawn yesterday, Saturday, June 27, 2026, with a number of Iranian drones, in a blatant violation of its sovereignty, a blatant threat to the security of citizens and residents, and a flagrant violation of international norms and conventions that prohibit targeting civilian objects and terrorizing the safe.
While the Ministry denounces this sinful aggression, it confirms that the Iranian regime’s continuation of its attacks, at a time when regional and international efforts are moving towards calm, places responsibility on Tehran alone for undermining peace efforts, and reveals an approach based on destabilizing security, exporting chaos, and undermining regional stability.
Based on the Kingdom’s established principles, the Ministry reiterates that peace cannot be built by intimidation, that security cannot be taken away by aggression, that Bahrain’s resolve is stronger than any threat, and that the unity of its national ranks is more difficult for those who think that continuing aggression will discourage honorable people from their principles or undermine their resolve.
While the Ministry recalls Security Council Resolution No. 2817 (2026), which the Kingdom submitted on behalf of the Gulf Cooperation Council countries and Jordan, and which received the support of 136 countries as an expression of a unified international will, it confirms that Tehran’s persistence in its aggression represents a direct challenge to this international will, and that after it pledged to a permanent cessation of military operations and respect for the sovereignty of the countries of the region, according to the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding signed in June 17, 2026. Its treacherous aggression reveals its disregard for the international community and the commitments it has made. While the Kingdom affirms that it reserves its full legitimate right to defend its sovereignty, security, and stability in accordance with international law, the Ministry calls on the Security Council to assume its responsibilities in ensuring the implementation of its decision and holding the aggressor accountable.
