🔻 Verbal tension between Iran and Bahrain’s representative at the United Nations The representative of Bahrain to the session of the Third Committee of the United Nations General Assembly condemned Iran’s attacks on its country during the recent war and their effects on civilians, infrastructure, and essential services. In response, Iran’s representative accused Bahrain of making its soil and airspace available for attacks by the United States and warned that this could be repeated. According to Tasnim News Agency, Ali Karimi Maqam, the Second Secretary of Iran’s mission to the United Nations, said that Bahrain “has provided its land, bases, and airspace to the United States so that they can be used to initiate an unlawful war against the Islamic Republic of Iran.” He said that Bahrain “cannot be surprised by the consequences of that now” and warned this country and other countries in the region not to allow their territory or airspace to be used for attacks on Iran. The Third Committee of the UN General Assembly addresses matters related to human rights, humanitarian, and social issues.
