Bahrain’s Foreign Ministry said Saturday it was targeted by a “number of Iranian drones” as tensions are escalating around the Strait of Hormuz.
“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed the Kingdom of Bahrain’s strongest condemnation of the targeting of its territory at dawn today, Saturday, June 27, 2026, by a number of Iranian drones, in a blatant violation of its sovereignty, a flagrant threat to the security of citizens and residents, and a blatant breach of international norms and conventions that prohibit targeting,” Bahrain’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
The reported Iranian drone attack comes about 48 hours after Secretary of State Marco Rubio visited Bahrain for a meeting with members of the Gulf Cooperation Council, where they discussed the U.S.-Iran deal and next steps for the Middle East.
“While the Ministry condemns this heinous aggression, it affirms that the Iranian regime’s continued attacks, at a time when regional and international efforts are moving towards de-escalation, place the sole responsibility on Tehran for undermining peace efforts, and reveals an approach based on destabilizing security, exporting chaos, and undermining regional stability,” Bahrain’s Foreign Ministry also said Saturday.
