The continued Iranian assaults targeting civilian sites across the Kingdom constitute a flagrant violation of Bahrain’s sovereignty, as well as international law and international humanitarian law.

The Ministerial Committee for Development and Infrastructure Projects emphasised this while renewing its condemnation of the strikes on residential neighbourhoods, vital economic, oil and educational facilities, desalination plants, and other infrastructure.

The committee warned that these attacks pose a direct threat to the lives of citizens and residents and represent a dangerous escalation that undermines regional and international security and stability.

During its meeting, the committee also thanked His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince, Deputy Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, and Prime Minister, for ordering authorities to address damage to citizens’ homes following what it described as hostile Iranian attacks and to ensure the best possible medical services are provided to those injured.

Officials reviewed measures taken by relevant authorities to assess the extent of damage and begin implementation of repair efforts aimed at restoring stability for affected Bahraini families.

The committee meeting, chaired by the Deputy Prime Minister, His Excellency Khalid bin Abdullah Al Khalifa, also commended the efforts of military, security and civilian personnel for their professional response to the recent developments.
