The Kingdom of Bahrain has strongly condemned the Iranian missile attacks targeting its territory as well as several other Arab countries, including Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, and Jordan. Bahrain described the assaults as a flagrant violation of national sovereignty and a direct threat to civilian safety, as well as a clear breach of international law and the principles of good neighborliness governing relations between states.

Bahrain emphasized that such dangerous escalation undermines regional security and stability, warning that targeting territories and vital installations places lives at risk and carries serious security implications. It stressed that these actions contradict established international legal norms and inter-state commitments, representing unacceptable conduct that jeopardizes regional peace.

The Bahraini Ministry of Foreign Affairs praised the efficiency of air defense systems in the targeted countries, which successfully intercepted and neutralized a number of missiles, although some struck various sites and facilities. The ministry affirmed that the armed forces of those states remain fully prepared to confront any threat to their sovereignty and national security, highlighting that safeguarding airspace and critical infrastructure remains a top priority amid current developments.

Bahrain called on the international community to take an immediate and firm stance in condemning these attacks, urging an end to hostile actions that threaten regional stability and the security of its peoples. It further underscored that the affected countries retain their legitimate right to respond and to take necessary measures to protect their territories and ensure the safety of citizens and residents, in accordance with international law and the United Nations Charter.

This position reflects Bahrain’s consistent call for respect for national sovereignty and the prevention of further escalation that could negatively impact broader regional stability.
