"Shura Council Foreign Affairs Committee": Iranian Statements Are Irresponsible and Violate Fundamental Principles of International Relations

The Foreign Affairs, Defense, and National Security Committee of the Shura Council, headed by Dr. Ali bin Mohammed Al-Rumaihi, expressed its strong condemnation and denunciation of the statements made by the head of the Iranian Strategic Council on Foreign Relations, Kamal Kharazi. These statements included an attack on the Arab identity of the Kingdom of Bahrain and its unquestionable national identity.

The Committee rejected the issuance of these statements during a period of multiple regional challenges, emphasizing that such actions do not serve the efforts to ensure stability in the region. The Committee underscored that the emergence of Iranian officials with such statements, which undermine the fundamental principles governing international relations, is unacceptable. These statements constitute interference in the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Bahrain and a violation of its national sovereignty.

The Committee also rejected any attempts to distort the established historical and geographical facts that affirm the Arab identity of Bahrain throughout the ages. The Committee emphasized that historical evidence leaves no room for doubt regarding Bahrain's deep roots in Arab and Islamic history, its close ties with all Arab countries, and its commitment to playing an active and influential role in the issues of the Arab and Islamic family.

The Committee highlighted that these irresponsible statements carry intentions with dire consequences, contributing to the incitement of conflicts, undermining stability, and sowing discord in the region. At the same time, the Kingdom of Bahrain and the countries of the region express keenness and great interest in working with regional and international partners to preserve the security and stability of the region, and to strengthen joint cooperation in confronting any challenges that threaten peace efforts.

The Committee emphasized that the Kingdom of Bahrain, a free and independent Arab and Islamic nation, has succeeded under the leadership of His Majesty the King to present itself and its brothers in the GCC countries to the world as model countries in development, progress, and service to humanity. Bahrain consistently strives to strengthen its ties with brotherly and friendly countries, and to develop its relations as a priority of its foreign policy, serving common interests.
