Bahrain has condemned Iran for launching seven ballistic missiles targeting the territories of Bahrain and Kuwait early Saturday. The Bahraini Foreign Ministry described the attack as a severe violation of the country’s sovereignty and a threat to Gulf regional security. According to the ministry, the missiles were successfully intercepted, and it praised the vigilance of the Bahraini and Kuwaiti armed forces.

In its statement, Bahrain accused Iran of violating United Nations Security Council Resolution 2817 (2026), which denounced Iranian attacks and any attempt to close the Strait of Hormuz or disrupt international navigation. The ministry urged Iran to immediately halt such unjustified assaults, fully reopen the strait without restrictions, disclose the locations of naval mines, and allow over 20,000 stranded sailors to leave the area safely.

Bahrain emphasized that its patience should not be mistaken for weakness and reaffirmed its commitment to take all lawful measures to protect national security and sovereignty.
