Manouchehr Mottaki, a member of Iran's parliament and close ally of the IRGC, has renewed threats against Bahrain, accusing it of acting as an agent of the United States and Israel. Speaking at the Inter-Parliamentary Union, he condemned Bahrain for providing 3 million square meters of land, airport facilities, and hotels to the US military, labeling the Bahraini representative's remarks as rude and complicit in America's war of aggression. This escalation follows ongoing tensions in the region, with Iran previously threatening Bahrain over its support for US forces amid the US naval blockade and conflict with Iran. The IRGC Cyber Corps has disseminated the video of Mottaki's statements, amplifying the hostile rhetoric.
