MP Abdulwahid Qarata condemned Iran’s missile and drone attacks on Bahrain and other Gulf Cooperation Council states, saying they targeted sovereignty and national security and breached international law.

In a statement issued after the strikes, he described the launches as ‘a blatant violation of international law and humanitarian norms’.

Qarata said he rejected any attack on civilian buildings or unarmed civilians, calling such acts criminal and in breach of international and humanitarian conventions. ‘Targeting defenceless civilians is a full-fledged war crime,’ he said, adding that Iran and its leadership bore full responsibility.

He said the attacks again showed the risks facing the region and the need for firm national unity behind Bahrain’s leadership and its military and security bodies.

Qarata praised the Bahrain Defence Force for its readiness and its ability to repel attacks, saying it remained prepared to protect Bahrain’s airspace and sovereignty.

He also commended the Ministry of Interior and security personnel, saying they were working around the clock to keep public order, support stability, and protect citizens and residents from any threat and its wider impact.

The MP said he remained confident Bahrain would get through what he called difficult circumstances under the leadership of His Majesty the King, with the support of the Government and the public.

He urged citizens to take information only from official sources and to stand against rumours and false news aimed at weakening unity at home. He ended with a prayer for Bahrain, its leadership and its people.
