THE recurrence of Iranian aggression will not deter Bahrain’s resolve or the steadfastness of its people to defend itself, His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, has said.
HRH Prince Salman also condemned the continued Iranian attacks targeting the kingdom’s territory, as well as the wider GCC states and Jordan when he chaired yesterday’s weekly Cabinet meeting at Gudaibiya Palace.
The session emphasised that the continued aggression, which targeted civilians, residents and infrastructure, constitutes a flagrant violation of the kingdom’s sovereignty and international law, as well as a breach of the commitments made by Iran under the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding.
The Cabinet affirmed Bahrain’s full solidarity with its allies targeted by Iran in safeguarding their security and the safety of their citizens and residents.
It also underscored the importance of the international community’s role in curbing such attacks and keeping the Strait of Hormuz free.
The Cabinet expressed its pride and appreciation for the security forces and civil authorities for their efforts and high-level of readiness in defending the kingdom.
