Iran urges Bahrain to stop facilitating enemy plots in region
Tehran (KNA) - Tehran has blasted Bahrain for hosting a so-called maritime security conference as part of its highly hostile anti-Iran agenda, calling on the regime in Manama to stop acting as “a facilitator of enemy plots” in the region.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi on Thursday condemned the accusations that Bahrain has leveled against Iran in its latest statements as well as the regime's hosting of "suspicious and provocative meetings."
On July 31, Bahrain - where the US Fifth Fleet is based - hosted a conference on "maritime security" in the Persian Gulf, after a number of mysterious attacks in the strategic waters, which Washington has blamed on Iran, without offering any credible evidence.
The monarchy, in a statement on the meeting, slammed what it called "repeated attacks and unacceptable practices of Iran." Manama did not release details on who participated in the conference, but British media reported that the UK had called for a meeting with the participation of other European countries and the United States.
Manama also plans to co-host another anti-Iran international meeting with the US likely in late October with a focus on what the kingdom and its allies call "Iranian threats" to the security of navigation in the Persian Gulf. The forum would be a follow-up to the February hostile meeting co-hosted by the US and Poland in Warsaw against Iran.
