Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan, Egypt condemn Iranian attack on Bahrain – Middle East crisis live

Bahrain said its air defences intercepted and destroyed Iranian drones over its territory on Sunday, 15 November, and condemned the incident as an attack on its sovereignty. The statement matters because Bahrain said the strikes undermine de-escalation and threaten security across the Gulf.

Bahrain said the Revolutionary Guard had claimed responsibility for Sunday’s attack and for a similar drone incident on Friday, when two drones were intercepted. It cited UN Security Council Resolution 2817, called for the Council to take action, and said Bahrain reserved the right to defend itself, coordinating with Gulf Cooperation Council members and allies.
