Bahrain's ruler said Friday evening that he wants to preserve the brotherhood of the Islamic nation and asked Iran to stop attacking his country, according to a single source report.
Bahrain's ruler issued a direct appeal to Iran on Friday evening, asking Tehran to refrain from further attacks on his country. The statement, carried by a single source, emphasizes a desire to preserve Islamic unity. The request comes amid heightened regional tensions. The IRGC previously warned residents of Gulf states, including Bahrain, to stay away from US military installations (The Zioneer, July 12). Bahrain has been a key partner in the US-led regional security architecture, and its ruler's plea reflects growing concern over Iranian retaliatory strikes hitting the Gulf.
