The Kingdom of Bahrain called on the UN Security Council to convene an urgent session after Iran launched a second consecutive wave of ballistic missiles and drones targeting Bahraini territory on Sunday, characterizing the action as a deliberate and systematic pattern of aggression.

Bahrain's Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the renewed strikes in the strongest terms, warning that Tehran's actions indicate calculated hostility rather than isolated incidents. The ministry noted the attacks represent a direct violation of UN Security Council Resolution 2817 (2026) and the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding signed on June 17, 2026, under which Iran committed to a permanent halt of military operations and respect for regional sovereignty.

The Bahrain Defence Force confirmed its air defence systems intercepted and destroyed several incoming threats yesterday. All units and weapon systems remain at the highest operational readiness. Authorities urged citizens and residents to avoid approaching any suspicious debris and report it immediately to relevant authorities.

Gulf states rallied swiftly behind Manama. Kuwait, Qatar, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia each issued statements condemning the attacks as a flagrant violation of international law and a dangerous escalation threatening regional stability. All four affirmed that Bahrain's security is inseparable from the collective security of GCC member states.

 Bahrain invoked the GCC's Joint Defence Agreement, stressing that an attack on any member state is an attack on all, while asserting its full right under international law to defend its sovereignty and the safety of its people.
