Bahrain has condemned what it said was an Iranian drone attack targeting its territory early on Saturday, describing it as a violation of its sovereignty and a threat to civilian safety.

Axar.az reports, citing Bahrain's Foreign Ministry, that several Iranian drones struck the country on June 27, calling the attack a breach of international law and conventions prohibiting attacks on civilian infrastructure.

The ministry said the assault came despite ongoing regional and international efforts to de-escalate tensions, accusing Tehran of undermining peace initiatives and destabilizing regional security.

Bahrain also recalled UN Security Council Resolution 2817 (2026), submitted on behalf of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) member states and Jordan, saying Iran's actions directly challenged the international consensus reflected in the resolution.

According to the ministry, Iran had committed under the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding, signed on June 17, 2026, to permanently cease military operations and respect the sovereignty of countries in the region. It said the latest attack demonstrated Tehran's disregard for those commitments.

The ministry reaffirmed Bahrain's right under international law to defend its sovereignty, security, and stability, and called on the UN Security Council to ensure implementation of its resolution and hold those responsible accountable.

It should be noted that the attack came after the United States carried out strikes on Iran's coastal radar facilities, as well as drone and missile storage sites. Iran later launched retaliatory attacks against U.S. forces in the region.
