Lawmakers praise security forces
Lawmakers voiced strong support for the Interior Ministry following the arrest of individuals in a case involving an alleged group linked to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and the ideology of Wilayat al-Faqih.
Members of parliament and the Shura Council said the case reflected the readiness of the kingdom’s security services and their ability to respond to threats targeting national security, sovereignty and public order.
Dr Maryam Al Dhaen said the operation aligned with the policies of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and the directives of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister.
She said the legal measures targeted individuals involved in unlawful activity and did not affect Bahraini society, which she described as unified and based on coexistence and moderation.
Dr Ali Al Rumaihi, head of the Shura Council’s Foreign Affairs, Defence and National Security Committee, said the case highlighted the effectiveness of Bahrain’s security apparatus.
He said firm and fair enforcement of the law was essential to safeguarding national security and maintaining social stability, adding that public unity behind the leadership remained a key safeguard against threats.
MP Dr Hassan BuKhammas, chairman of Parliament’s Foreign Affairs, Defence and National Security Committee, said the Interior Ministry’s action formed part of broader efforts to counter terrorism and alleged foreign interference.
He praised the security forces for their investigations, saying the arrests followed extensive inquiries and searches.
BuKhammas added that such measures were necessary to protect internal stability and rejected any activities that sought to undermine public trust or national unity.
He called for continued vigilance and public cooperation to preserve Bahrain’s social cohesion and national interests.
