Bahrain’s Public Prosecution has launched an extensive investigation into one of the most serious security cases, interrogating 41 suspects linked to a primary network associated with Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, while ordering their pretrial detention, lifting bank account confidentiality, and freezing their assets.

The Head of Terror Crimes Prosecution stated that the organization included members affiliated with the dissolved clerical council and had been systematically working to enable Iranian interference in Bahrain’s internal affairs by attempting to control mosques, religious gatherings, and seminaries and using these platforms to spread extremist ideology and incite against the state.

Investigations revealed that the suspects recruited individuals to join the network and adopt the doctrine of Wilayat al Faqih, aiming to expand its influence inside Bahrain, while also targeting clerics who opposed this ideology through intimidation, marginalization, and threats of violence.

Authorities confirmed that the network collected funds to support and finance its activities, with part of the money transferred to entities linked to terrorist groups in Iran, Iraq, and Lebanon, while some suspects used portions of these funds for personal benefit, including purchasing real estate, gold, and vehicles, as well as covering private expenses.

The Public Prosecution confirmed that investigations are still ongoing, with significant evidence already seized, and stated that a final report will be issued upon completion as part of Bahrain’s continued efforts to safeguard national security and maintain public stability.
