The recent normalization agreements by Bahrain and by the United Arab Emirates are part of a broader push by the Trump administration find common ground with countries that share U.S. wariness of Iran(AP Photo/Andrew Harnik) Bahrain's announcement Friday followed a similar normalization agreement last month by the United Arab Emirates, a fellow U.S. ally. The two Arab nations' establishment of full relations with Israel is part of a broader push by the Trump administration find common ground with countries that share U.S. wariness of Iran. Tehran's arch rival Saudi Arabia may also be close to a deal.

In a statement, Iran's Foreign Ministry said Bahrain's normalization "will remain in the historical memory of the oppressed and downtrodden people of Palestine and the world’s free nations forever.”
Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard also denounced Bahrain's move using similar language, calling it a betrayal of the Palestinian people and a “threat to security in West Asia and the Muslim world.”
The agreements by the UAE and now Bahrain are a setback for Palestinian leaders, who have urged Arab nations to withhold recognition until they have secured an independent state. The Palestinians have seen a steady erosion in once-unified Arab support — one of the few cards they still held as leverage against Israel — since President Donald Trump began pursuing an unabashedly pro-Israel agenda.
The Foreign Ministry statement also said Bahrain's government and the other supporting governments would be held accountable for any act by Israel that causes insecurity in the Persian Gulf region.
The island of Bahrain lies just off the coast of Saudi Arabia, and is among the world’s smallest countries, only about 760 square kilometers (290 square miles). Bahrain’s location in the Persian Gulf long has made it a trading stop and a naval defensive position. The island is home to the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet and a recently built British naval base.
Like Iran, Bahrain’s population is majority Shiite, and the country has been ruled since 1783 by the Sunni Al Khalifa family.
Since Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution, Bahrain’s rulers have blamed Iran for arming militants on the island. Iran denies the accusations. Bahrain’s Shiite majority has accused the government of treating them like second-class citizens. The Shiites joined pro-democracy activists in demanding more political freedoms in 2011, as Arab Spring protests swept across the wider Middle East. Saudi and Emirati troops ultimately helped violently put down the demonstrations.


When Iran gets up on their radical islamic highhorse and denounces something - One can be sure it is the Right and correct thing to do (no apologies to the DPST splody heads for using the term 'Right"! LOL) The DPST marxists and their racist palestinian allies al want the destruction of israel and of the entire jewish peoples - as does Iran. How any jewish peson can vote Biden - and for their own destruction at the hands of Omar and Tlaib - is denial of an epic scale.
Next pelosi and Schumer will propose a bailout bill for Iran to pay for the destruction of the uranium centrifuges - used to purify uranium for nuclear weapons.

Israel will not permit Iran to use nukes on them - they will nuke the iranian theocracy first - and the radical islamic bastards deserve it.

Unfortunately - their young populace yearning for freedom does not - they are captives of the radical elderly mullahs.
i suspect most of the Iranian population is shocked and dismayed by the radical marxist DPST's racist Anti-Semitism. the hatred runs deep in the Racist DPST's! They learned a great deal from the national socialist party and Goebbels.

I'm stunned. The Persians dislike what Arabs do? Errr.... Muslims.

Iran is merely attempting to frighten the other Middle Eastern countries.

bahrain has an interesting complicated history. didn't know the portugeuse had territories there before being kicked out by the persian muslims.


this is a govt. where the sunni minority rules the shia majority.
