The renewed Iranian attack marks a “dangerous escalation” that is part of a continued, targeted attack against Bahrain’s sovereignty, the Bahraini Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Sunday morning.

“Tehran’s actions are neither incidental nor isolated, but rather a deliberate policy and systematic pattern of repeated aggression against the Kingdom’s sovereignty and the security of its citizens and residents,” the statement read.

Additionally, the repeated strikes “eliminate every possible pretext and prove prior intent, as the aggression constitutes a clear resumption of hostilities following Tehran’s commitment under the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding.”

“This leaves Tehran solely responsible for violating its commitments and undermining the remaining prospects for de-escalation and stability in the region,” it said.

Further, Bahrain called for the United Nations Security Council to convene an emergency session and put an end to Iran’s aggression and hold Tehran accountable.

No deaths reported

The condemnation comes after Bahrain’s Interior Ministry announced on X/Twitter that air raid sirens sounded across Bahrain for the second time in as many hours.

“Citizens and residents are requested to remain calm, head to the nearest safe location, and follow updates through official channels,” the ministry wrote.

Later, it added that while a residential building was damaged, no deaths had been reported.

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun condemned Iran’s attacks on Kuwait and Bahrain on X, calling for urgent international action to put an end to the escalating violence.
