Bahrain’s Interior Ministry announced on Saturday that authorities had arrested 41 individuals allegedly linked to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), according to Al Arabiya.
The ministry stated that security authorities had dismantled a cell allegedly linked to IRGC, noting that public prosecution investigations also featured cases involving expressions of support for Iranian attacks.
War in Iran
On February 28, the United States and Israel launched strikes on Iran, targeting its leadership and triggering a new conflict in the Middle East.
Iran has been responding with a retaliatory counterattack in Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Abu Dhabi as a retaliatory move, while launching barrages of missiles and drones toward Israel.
The conflict has spread across the Middle East, leaving thousands dead, triggering unprecedented disruptions to energy supplies especially after the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
The adversaries remain locked in a standoff over the Strait of Hormuz, as Iran tightens its control over maritime traffic while the United States continues to enforce a blockade on Iranian ports.
