Bahrain supports US decision to pull out of Iran nuclear deal
Bahrain said it supported the decision of US
President Donald Trump to withdraw from the nuclear agreement with Iran and to
re-impose severe sanctions against the Iranian regime.
“This decision reflects the commitment of the United
States to confront Iranian policies and Iran's continuous attempts to spread
terrorism in the region in full violation of international norms and laws,”
Bahrain News Agency (BNA) quoted a statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
as saying on Tuesday night.
“The agreement was characterized by several
shortcomings, most important of which was not addressing Iran's ballistic
missile program, or Iran's threat to the security and stability of the region
through its interference in the internal affairs of other countries as well as
its support for militias in these countries.
“Bahrain affirms its solidarity with the decision
taken by President Trump, noting its support for the efforts of the United
States that aim to end terrorism at both at the regional and international
levels.
“Bahrain also calls upon all other signatories to
the agreement to consider the security and peace of the region and to take
steps similar to those of the United States of America.
“Bahrain reiterates its support for all efforts
aimed at making the Middle East free of nuclear weapons and other weapons of
mass destruction, stressing its stance towards all measures taken to prevent
Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, to combat its funding and support of
extremist militias in the region, and to urge Iran to respect its neighbours'
sovereignty and not to interfere in their internal affairs.”
