The Permanent Mission of the Kingdom of Bahrain to the United Nations in New York sent an urgent letter to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres following the recent missile attacks on the Kingdom, attributed to Iran.

In the letter, Bahrain strongly condemned the “cowardly and treacherous” attacks, which targeted sites, facilities, and residential areas within its borders.

Bahraini air defenses successfully intercepted several missiles and drones. The Kingdom described the assaults as a blatant violation of its sovereignty, territorial integrity, and the security of its people, constituting an unjustified act that violates international law and the UN Charter, and posing a serious threat to regional and international peace and stability.

The letter further emphasized Bahrain’s denunciation of these acts as a dangerous escalation and a hostile attack that will neither be tolerated nor overlooked.

It stressed that such attacks set a precedent that threatens regional security, undermines stability, and violates the principles of good neighborliness.

Commitment

Bahrain reaffirmed its commitment to the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and underscored its full and inherent right to respond proportionately to protect its territory, citizens, and residents, in accordance with Article 51 of the Charter, and in coordination with its allies and partners.

The Kingdom called on the UN Security Council to assume its responsibilities, condemn the hostile acts, and take firm measures to deter such violations and prevent their recurrence, ensuring the maintenance of regional and international security and stability.
