Bahrain king threatens citizens over 'betrayal'

The King of Bahrain, Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, has issued a stark warning to the Bahraini people, threatening to take immediate measures against anyone who 'dares to betray the country.' He further stated that the government would review who deserves Bahraini citizenship and who does not, in order to apply 'appropriate procedures.' The comments, delivered in a public address, signal a potential crackdown on dissent and a tightening of citizenship policies. The remarks come amid ongoing regional tensions and internal political scrutiny within the Gulf monarchy.
