Bahrain Uncovers Organization Linked to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, Arrests 41 Members
Interpreted as a Message to Strengthen Internal Controls
The Bahraini government announced that it has detected an organization linked to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and arrested 41 key members involved.
On May 9, the Bahraini Ministry of Interior stated through the state-run BNA news agency, "This organization was engaged in espionage activities due to its ties with the Revolutionary Guard and Iran's theocratic ideology, and it supported Iran's blatant acts of aggression," adding that "the investigation is ongoing."
Bahrain is ruled by a Sunni royal family, but the majority of its population is Shia, making it a country considered sectarianly unstable. The general public is favorable toward Iran, and the opposition is also Shia-oriented.
Because of this sectarian structure, the Bahraini government regards Iran's 'interference' as a factor contributing to social and security instability.
