BAHRAIN has called on the United Nations Security Council to fulfil its responsibilities by holding Iran responsible for its attacks on the kingdom.
The Foreign Ministry expressed the kingdom’s strongest condemnation of the attack targeting its territory in the early hours yesterday, using a number of drones.
The attacks were also condemned by Parliament Speaker Ahmed Al Musallam, Shura Council Chairman Ali Saleh Al Saleh, Islamic Endowments Council chairman Yousef bin Saleh Al Saleh and Shura Council’s foreign affairs, defence and national security committee chairman Dr Ali Al Romaihi.
The ministry described the attack as a flagrant violation of the kingdom’s sovereignty, a blatant threat to the security of citizens and residents, a serious breach of international norms and conventions prohibiting attacks on civilian objects and acts of terror against civilians.
It strongly condemned the reprehensible act of aggression, stressing that the Iranian regime’s continued attacks, at a time when regional and international efforts are focused on de-escalation, place sole responsibility on Tehran for undermining peace efforts.
The ministry said the attacks reflect a continued policy of destabilising security, exporting chaos, and eroding regional stability.
It reaffirmed the kingdom’s steadfast principles, stressing that peace cannot be achieved through intimidation, nor can security be imposed through aggression.
