Amman, June 27 (Petra) – Bahrain on Saturday condemned as a flagrant aggression Iranian drone attacks on the Gulf Arab state.

"The attacks are a flagrant violation of the Kingdom's sovereignty, a blatant threat to the security of Bahrain's citizens and residents, and a gross breach of international norms and conventions that prohibit targeting civilian objects and terrorizing innocent civilians," Bahraini Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

"The Iranian regime continued attacks at a time when regional and international efforts are focused on de-escalation, which lays the sole responsibility on Tehran for undermining peace efforts, and reveals an approach bent on destabilizing security, exporting chaos, and undermining regional stability," the Ministry said.

It said Bahrain "reserves its full legitimate right" to defend its sovereignty, security, and stability in accordance with international law, and called on the UN Security Council to shoulder its responsibility to ensure the implementation of its resolution and hold "the aggressor" accountable.
