Bahrain Backs UAE Security

Speaking before the United Nations Security Council, Jamal Fares Alrowaiei said Bahrain deeply regretted the continued attacks on critical infrastructure, energy facilities and peaceful nuclear sites across the region.

Alrowaiei thanked Rafael Grossi for his briefing on the incident involving the Barakah plant and praised the UAE authorities for their transparency and swift coordination with the International Atomic Energy Agency and GCC countries.

He said the attacks occurred at a sensitive time while discussions on nuclear safety and security were taking place during the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty review process. He warned of a growing gap between international political statements and actions on the ground.

Bahrain described the attack as a “serious and unjustified escalation” and a violation of international law and relevant Security Council resolutions protecting civilian and nuclear infrastructure.

Alrowaiei also referred to previous attacks in the region, including an incident on April 5, 2026 involving petrochemical infrastructure in Bahrain, warning that rapid intervention by authorities had prevented what could have become a major humanitarian and environmental disaster.

He stressed that repeated attacks on critical infrastructure, maritime corridors and energy facilities in GCC countries threaten regional stability, global supply chains and international energy security.

The Bahraini envoy reaffirmed Bahrain’s full solidarity with the UAE and stressed that the security of GCC states remains indivisible. He also condemned recent drone attacks targeting the Saudi Arabia, saying such actions reflect a continuing pattern of escalation threatening the region’s security and stability.
