Bahrain's Foreign Minister Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani, speaking from Washington on Thursday morning, urged a significant deepening of the strategic and defense partnership with the United States, explicitly citing the Iranian threat. Al Zayani stressed that the international community must act decisively to prevent Iran from acquiring a military nuclear capability and to stop its missile and drone attacks. He called for expanding the Gulf kingdom's defense agreements with Washington.
The statement arrives amid a broader regional push by Gulf states — alongside Western diplomacy — to contain Iran's regional posture, from its nuclear program to its support for proxies in Lebanon, Gaza, and Yemen. The Zioneer has previously reported on similar diplomatic signals from Qatar and France in recent weeks, all reflecting growing concern over Tehran's activities.
