Bahrain’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned Iran’s renewed attack on its territory with ballistic missiles and drones on June 28 2026 describing the incident as a dangerous escalation that forms part of a deliberate systematic pattern of aggression against the kingdom’s sovereignty and the safety of its citizens and residents. In a statement the ministry called on the UN Security Council to convene an urgent session to implement Resolution 2817 (2026) end the ongoing aggression and hold those responsible accountable. The statement affirmed Bahrain’s full legitimate right to defend its sovereignty security and territorial integrity in line with international law while placing complete responsibility on the Iranian regime for any further escalation.
The ministry’s statement issued on Sunday emphasized that Tehran’s continued defiance of international will demands a firm global response rather than viewing the strikes as isolated events. Qatar News Agency reported the details from Manama noting that the attacks targeted Bahraini territory once again in violation of established norms. This position aligns with Bahrain’s earlier diplomatic efforts to address similar threats through multilateral channels.
A joint statement by foreign ministers of Arab and Islamic countries in March 2026 had already condemned comparable Iranian ballistic missile and drone attacks on Gulf states residential areas civilian infrastructure and diplomatic sites according to Turkey’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The ministers at the time stressed Iran’s obligation to comply with Security Council Resolution 2817 (2026) which was co-sponsored by 135 countries and labels such actions as breaches of international law. The resolution’s emphasis on immediate cessation of hostilities has been referenced repeatedly in subsequent regional responses to Iranian operations.
The United Arab Emirates strongly condemned the terrorist ballistic missile and drone attacks on Bahrain describing them as flagrant violations of sovereignty and threats to regional stability in a statement from its Ministry of Foreign Affairs published on June 6 2026. Similar expressions of support came from other GCC members following earlier strikes in February 2026 that affected facilities including the U.S. Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain according to regional diplomatic records. These coordinated condemnations illustrate a consistent regional stance against repeated Iranian aggression throughout the year.
Iran International reported that the latest drone attack occurred in the early hours of June 27 2026 with Bahrain accusing Tehran of breaching a recent U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding and undermining peace efforts. The foreign ministry’s response on the following day reiterated that Iran alone bears responsibility for destabilizing regional security through such policies. Bahrain has maintained this line in communications to the United Nations highlighting the cumulative impact on both national and Gulf-wide stability.
Reports from the Wikipedia entry on the 2026 Iranian strikes on Bahrain document a series of incidents beginning in late February and continuing through March with joint letters sent to the UN by Bahrain Saudi Arabia the UAE Qatar and Kuwait condemning the pattern of attacks. The latest ministry statement builds on those prior notifications by demanding enforcement of the resolution to prevent recurrence. Bahrain’s approach combines diplomatic appeals with a clear reservation of its defensive rights under established international frameworks.
