Bahrain has declared its complete solidarity with Saudi Arabia and its full endorsement of the legitimate steps the Kingdom has taken in response to repeated terrorist attacks on its oil and vital facilities, carried out from Iraqi territory by Iran-backed terrorist militias.

The Bahraini Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the kingdom supports every legitimate measure Saudi Arabia takes to protect its security, sovereignty and territory, including its right to respond, in coordination with US Central Command, against specific targets in Iraq connected to the hostile attacks.

The ministry praised the wisdom of the Saudi leadership and its consistent preference for peaceful solutions, de-escalation and easing tensions, noting that the Kingdom resorts to force only in legitimate self-defence after exhausting every other means of preserving regional security and stability.
