Bahrain Revokes Nationality of 69 Individuals for Hailing Iranian Attacks

Bahraini sources said the authorities in Bahrain have revoked the nationality of individuals hailing the hostile acts carried out by Iran against Bahrain.

The sources said on Monday that, in implementation of the Royal directives, the nationality of 69 individuals of non-Bahraini origin has been revoked for sympathizing with and glorifying the criminal Iranian hostile acts.

Iran had launched repeated attacks on Bahrain and other Gulf states during the war it waged against the United States and Israel.

Last week, Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, King of Bahrain, tasked Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, with immediately initiating strict measures against those involved in undermining national security, including reviewing their entitlement to hold Bahraini nationality.

The Bahrain News Agency reported that King Hamad, during a meeting with senior officials in the Kingdom, said the state is proceeding with full resolve to address the repercussions of the war, noting the assignment of the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, in the coming phase, “to implement comprehensive and decisive measures, by establishing appropriate programmes to address any shortcomings identified, whether in defence or in the economy.”

This is in addition to “the immediate commencement of taking the necessary action against anyone who has allowed themselves to betray the nation or undermine its security and stability, and to consider who deserves Bahraini nationality and who does not, so that the necessary measures are applied against them, especially as the situation remains delicate, and we must rely on what is dictated by the national conscience, on the basis that the nation is a great trust in honour and custom, with no leniency in squandering it or failing in its duties.”
