Speaker Condemns Iranian Attack Targeting Bahrain

Manama: Ahmed bin Salman Al Musallam, Speaker of the Council of Representatives, strongly condemned the Iranian attack targeting the Kingdom of Bahrain, describing it as a flagrant violation of the Kingdom of Bahrain's sovereignty and a serious breach of international law, international norms and the principles of good neighbourliness governing relations between states.

According to Bahrain News Agency, the Speaker said the attack contradicts all international principles and conventions and represents a dangerous escalation that threatens regional security and stability. He emphasised the Council of Representatives' support for the leadership of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and its backing for the directives of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, in defending the Kingdom and safeguarding its achievements.

The Speaker highlighted the unity of the people of the Kingdom of Bahrain and their high level of national awareness across all segments of society, which he said remain the strongest safeguard against attempts to undermine the Kingdom's security and stability. He noted that Bahrain's national unity and internal cohesion make it stronger in confronting threats and overcoming challenges.

In his statement, the Speaker underscored that the security of the Kingdom of Bahrain is a red line that cannot be compromised and that protecting the nation is a shared responsibility.
