BAHRAIN’s Interior Ministry and the security authorities have been praised for their continued vigilance, which led to the uncovering of an organisation linked to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and the Wilayat Al Faqih ideology.
The Cabinet, chaired by His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, yesterday expressed gratitude to the security organisations during the weekly meeting at Gudaibiya Palace.
The Cabinet tasked relevant authorities with continuing efforts and monitoring investigations to take necessary legal action against all those proven to be involved in the organisation’s activities and any unlawful acts.
The Cabinet also reviewed measures taken to address the impact of the hostile Iranian attacks on Bahrain.
It condemned the recent Iranian aggression targeting the UAE, Kuwait and Qatar, and reaffirmed Bahrain’s full solidarity and support for measures to safeguard their sovereignty and security.
Kuwait came under drone attack on Sunday, despite the current ceasefire, with its defence forces reacting to a number of ‘hostile drones’, a Defence Ministry spokesman said.
The UAE also reported fresh attacks on Sunday. The UAE Ministry of Defence stated that its air defences had successfully intercepted two Iranian drones.
On the occasion of the Royal Order issued by His Majesty King Hamad to conclude the fourth session of the sixth legislative term of the Shura Council and the Council of Representatives, the Cabinet affirmed its commitment to strengthening co-operation with the Legislative Authority to fulfil the kingdom’s aspirations.
The Cabinet highlighted His Majesty’s meeting with the Ukrainian President, during his visit to the kingdom, affirming Bahrain support for diplomacy and co-operation with allied countries to achieve peace and stability.
The Cabinet commended the approval by the Labour Fund (Tamkeen) board of directors, chaired by Prime Minister’s Court Minister Shaikh Isa bin Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, of an economic support package for 7,250 Bahraini businesses impacted by the hostile Iranian aggression to ensure operational and national workforce sustainability.
HRH Prince Salman directed that all necessary resources be dedicated to serving Bahraini pilgrims and facilitating the performance of their Hajj rituals with ease and safety, commending the efforts undertaken by Saudi Arabia in serving the pilgrims.
