Bahrain Breaks Up Iran-Backed Terror Plot, Recalls Ambassador From Tehran | The Tower
The island nation of Bahrain, a United States ally on the Persian Gulf, recalled its ambassador to Tehran over the weekend in response to a foiled Iran-backed terror plot, the third in the last two months. Ties between the two countries were already strained after Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei declared in a televised speech that, after the signing of a nuclear agreement between Iran and world powers, the Islamic Republic would continue to support its “regional friends” in “the oppressed Palestinian nation, Yemen, Syria, Iraq (and) Bahrain.”
