The Foreign Ministry slammed the irresponsible statements, being a flagrant interference in Bahrain’s internal affairs, an unprecedented behavior in relations bonding states and an awkward demeanor in regional and international relations.
The Undersecretary for Regional Affairs and the GCC Hamad Ahmed Abdulaziz Al-Amer rapped the irresponsible statements as they contravene the principles of the United Nations, the International Law and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, which all advocate utter respect of all countries’ sovereignty and independence.
“Top Iranian officials speak daily about Bahrain more than they speak about their country’s policy and interests or their people’s untenable economic and social plight”, Al-Amer said, responding to Abdullahyan’s statements to Iranian News Agency (Fars).
He slammed top Iranian officials for repeating the same mantra daily, to cover up the dire plight of their people, who have been reeling since 1979 under the yoke of blatant injustice and a tyrannical rule which strips them of their basic right to decent life.
He rapped Iranian officials for being adamant on making threats and warnings round the clock, thus reflecting Tehran’s systematic hostile media strategy against the Kingdom of Bahrain.
He slammed the Islamic Republic of Iran for flouting the principles of good neighborliness and mutual respect of national sovereignty, being an essential a cornerstone in inter-state relations, in line with the principles of tolerant Islamic precepts and the international norms.
“It is highly deplorable that top Iranian officials continue to make such dangerous threats and pursue their campaign of political, religious and media incitement, thoroughly rejected by the Kingdom of Bahrain.
He described the threats and campaign of incitement as reflecting Iranian expansionist designs, which target Bahrain, a full member of the UN, the Arab League, the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation and Non-Alignment Movement.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran should understand that Bahrain pays no heed to such threats and that the development momentum in the Kingdom would continue unabated”, he said, asserting that the loyal Bahraini people stands united with its leadership to achieve its hopes and aspirations for freedom and progress.
Al-Amer stressed Bahrain’s keenness on promoting peace and understanding with all countries in the region, describing the Iranian statements as a belligerent threat and direct offence to the relations between the Islamic Republic and the GCC states.
He warned against the dangerous pitfalls of such Iranian belligerent policies on the security and stability of the Arabian Gulf region and the Arab World as well as the global security and stability.
