BAHRAIN, June 27 (World Daily Times) — Bahrain said Saturday that Iranian drones entered its territory, drawing strong condemnation from Gulf states and the Gulf Cooperation Council as regional tensions rose around the latest strike.
Bahrain’s Foreign Ministry called the attack a “flagrant threat” to the kingdom’s security. GCC Secretary-General Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi described it as “treacherous” and said it would undermine peace efforts.
Kuwait’s Foreign Ministry said the strikes were “a dangerous undermining of endeavors for peace and stability” and a threat to regional security. Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates also condemned the attack, saying it violated Bahrain’s sovereignty and international law.
The Associated Press reported that no casualties or significant damage had been reported. The AP also said Iran’s Revolutionary Guard claimed on state television that it had targeted several locations “of the U.S. terrorist army in the region.” Egypt and Jordan also condemned the attack, according to their foreign ministries.
