Bahrain to skip Iran Strait talks
Bahrain confirmed that it will not participate in the proposed ministerial meeting between Iran, Gulf countries, and Iraq regarding the Strait of Hormuz scheduled to be held in Muscat. This is due to its lack of restored diplomatic relations with Iran and previous attacks targeting its infrastructure. Bahrain warned that targeting civilian and economic facilities threatens regional security. It clarified that any arrangements for navigation through the Strait of Hormuz must be based on the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea of 1982 and ensure freedom of passage for all. This comes after Iran announced that a meeting would be held in Muscat with Iraq and Gulf countries to discuss routes through the strait, reflecting ongoing tensions over the management of this vital waterway.
