A Bahraini court sentenced 12 individuals to 10 years in prison after convicting them of supporting attacks carried out by Iran, according to reports from the kingdom. The convictions follow a series of Iranian drone and missile strikes against Bahrain and other Gulf states in recent days.
A Bahraini court handed down 10-year prison sentences to 12 individuals convicted of supporting attacks carried out by Iran, according to a report circulating in Arabic media. The verdict comes amid an intensifying Iranian campaign against Gulf states: as The Zioneer reported, Bahrain confirmed on June 11 that 36 Iranian drones were launched at the kingdom in a single morning, wounding a girl by debris. The GCC subsequently condemned the strikes as a violation of international law. The specific nature of the support the convicted individuals provided — whether logistical, financial, or operational — has not been detailed in available reports. The sentences signal Bahrain's determination to prosecute domestic ties to Iran's cross-border attacks, as regional courts increasingly treat Iranian-linked activity as a criminal matter distinct from political dissent.
