What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Foreign Minister delivered an address to the United Nations General Assembly regarding the security of the Arabian Gulf region. The speech affirmed the approach of the Crown Prince, which holds that the security and prosperity of the region are linked. The Minister stated that Bahrain rejects any fees or regimes imposed on transit through the Strait of Hormuz, nor the use of international waterways as a means of economic coercion. The region has faced unjustified Iranian attacks using ballistic missiles and drones against civilian facilities, energy installations, and ports in Bahrain, GCC states, and Jordan.
