Iranian official says ‘serious warning being given to Bahrainis’

Iranian official says ‘serious warning being given to Bahrainis’ Ali Akbar Velayati, adviser to Iran’s supreme leader, said, “A serious warning is being given to the Bahrainis to know their limits and not play such games with their own fate, and not force Iran to adopt harsh decisions.” The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps also warned on Sunday that American bases in the region will “experience hell” if the attacks on the country continued. Citing Velayati’s interview with Iranian outlet Farhikhtegan, Drop Site News reported that Velayati singled out Bahrain as the Gulf state offering Washington the most support, noting it hosts the US Fifth Fleet, and accused it of stoking hatred against Iran. Bahrain on Sunday urged the UN Security Council to call an emergency meeting and hold Tehran accountable, after Iran struck a US Navy base in Bahrain in response to the latest US strikes in and near Hormuz.
