Iran condemns Bahrain for stripping dozens of citizenship

Iran condemns Bahrain for stripping dozens of citizenship Iran condemned Bahrain for revoking the citizenships of 69 people who were accused of expressing "sympathy" for Tehran during the US-Israeli war on the country. "The Bahraini government cannot use such narratives to distract public opinion in the country and the region from its direct responsibility for supporting and backing the US-Israeli aggressors against the Iranian people," Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said in a statement, as reported by the state-owned IRIB. Bahrain said it stripped 69 people of their citizenship on Monday, including family members, over expressing "sympathy and praise for Iran’s hostile and criminal acts".
