ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - Bahrain’s ambassador to the United Nations said Wednesday Iranian attacks have caused extensive damage to civilian and critical infrastructure across Gulf countries, describing the strikes as “unprovoked and unjust.”
Jamal Fares Alrowaiei told Rudaw that “the figures are higher when it comes to GCC countries. For example, the UAE has been targeted by 1000s of missiles, so the magnitude of the damage is significant.”
Since the start of the Iran war, Bahrain and its Gulf neighbors have faced a sustained campaign of missile and drone strikes. Tehran’s so-called “Axis of Resistance” has targeted critical infrastructure across the region, including international airports in Manama, Abu Dhabi, and Dubai, as well as major energy facilities, in retaliation for US-Israeli attacks.
“The effects of the Iranian attack, which is unprovoked and unjust, against the Kingdom of Bahrain and the countries of GCC and Jordan and other countries in the region,” he said, adding that “these attacks damaged infrastructure, desalination plants, oil tanks, civilian facilities, civilian infrastructure, buildings, hotels - all these facilities have been targeted, and these attacks led to significant damage.
