Arab Parliament Condemns 'Blatant' Iranian Attack on Bahrain

Cairo -- The Arab Parliament condemned Iran’s “blatant” attack on the Kingdom of Bahrain, carried out today on Sunday by Iranian drones that were intercepted and destroyed by Bahraini air defense systems. In a statement, the Arab Parliament affirmed that these attacks constitute a flagrant violation of Bahrain’s sovereignty and a serious threat to its security and stability, representing an unacceptable escalation that would heighten tensions and instability in the region. The statement noted that Iran’s resumption of its criminal attacks on the Arabian Gulf region constitutes a dangerous escalation and an unacceptable hostile posture that threatens the security and stability of the area, emphasizing that the security and stability of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states are an integral part of Arab national security, and any infringement upon them constitutes a direct threat to Arab national security as a whole. The Arab Parliament praised the competence and vigilance of Bahrain’s air defense systems and their ability to counter these threats, reaffirming its full solidarity with the Kingdom of Bahrain and its steadfast support for all legitimate measures Bahrain takes to protect its security, safeguard its sovereignty, and preserve the integrity of its territory.
