Bahrain’s Interior Ministry said the individuals were stripped of nationality for sympathising with Iran and “colluding with foreign entities”. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei called the move discriminatory and accused Bahrain of trying to deflect attention from its support for US and Israeli actions.
