Manama: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Bahrain expressed the Kingdom’s strong condemnation of the Iranian terrorist attack targeting an Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) tanker. The attack, carried out by two drones while the vessel was passing through the Strait of Hormuz, was cited as a flagrant violation of international law, the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, International Maritime Organization resolutions, and UN Security Council Resolution No. 2817.

In a statement carried by the Bahrain News Agency (BNA), the Ministry affirmed Bahrain’s full solidarity with the United Arab Emirates and its complete support for measures taken to protect UAE interests.

The statement further emphasized the need for Iran to halt all hostile acts and unconditionally restore freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. It noted that the waterway remains a fundamental pillar for energy security, the stability of global food and medicine supplies, trade flow, and regional security.
