Bahrain will open its airspace to Qatar as of Jan. 11, the civil aviation affairs authority said on Sunday, following a deal by Arab states last week to end the Gulf row with Doha.

Saudi Arabia and the UAE have already announced reopening air, land and sea entry points to Qatar.

Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister had said at the summit that Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain and Egypt agreed to restore all ties with Qatar which were severed over Doha’s support for terrorism.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian expressed regret in a phone call with Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani that Tehran's target in retaliation for US strikes was a military base in Qatar, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, Qatar's prime minister and foreign minister, said in a press conference on Tuesday.

Iran launched a limited missile attack Monday on a US military base in Qatar, retaliating for the American bombing of its nuclear sites. The US was warned by Iran in advance, and there were no casualties.

Israel and Iran on Tuesday accepted a ceasefire plan proposed by President Donald Trump to end their 12-day war that roiled the Middle East, after Tehran launched the attack in Qatar.
