Neighborhood policy and honest promise; change factors in Iran-Bahrain relations

according to the report of the international group Tasnim news agency, “Hamad bin Isa”, In a meeting with Chinese Prime Minister Li Qiang, the King of Bahrain emphasized Manama’s desire to restore relations with Iran, referring to China’s role in supporting stability in the region. This is while the King of Bahrain, in a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin a week ago, pointed out that there is no problem in relations with Iran and spoke about the imminent restoration of relations.

Before this, the Deputy Speaker of the Bahraini Parliament had spoken about the readiness of his country to resume relations with Tehran, referring to the historical relations between Iran and Bahrain. In the last month, the Bahraini media has significantly stopped media attacks on the Islamic Republic of Iran in order to create the assessment that the relations between the two countries are on the way to resume after 8 years.

On the opposite side, “Nasser Kanani”, the spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran, also appreciated the presence of Abdul Latif Al-Ziani, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Bahrain, in the ceremony to pay tribute to the martyrs of the presidential helicopter crash, on the attention of the Islamic Republic of Iran towards the position Giri, the King of Bahrain emphasized.

This positive atmosphere in the relations between Iran and Bahrain comes at a time when the Islamic Republic of Iran is following the death of Martyr Seyed Ebrahim Raisi, the President, and Martyr Hossein Amirabdollahian, the Minister. Iran’s foreign affairs are in a unique situation; However, the observers, aware of the strategic position of the Islamic Republic of Iran in pursuing the neighborhood policy, are optimistic about the improvement of relations between Tehran and Manama in the future government.

This new atmosphere in Iran’s relations with countries Central Asia and West Asia were the result of the seriousness of the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran in improving relations and solving problems between neighboring states in the form of “neighborhood policy”. But in the meantime, the decisive role of “Honest Promise” operation cannot be ignored; Because this attack, while showing the power of the Islamic Republic of Iran, also exposed the lower hand of the Zionist regime and the United States in the region. Palestinian resistance to the occupied territories based on the American design for the West Asian region, the conditions should be such that the Arab countries of the Persian Gulf form a military alliance under the name of “Arab NATO” in front of the Islamic Republic of Iran; However, the two operations of Al-Aqsa storm and Sadiq’s promise showed that such alliances have already failed and the countries of the region choose the path of friendship with Iran instead of taking the path of confrontation.

More Moreover, the relationship between Iran and Bahrain is different from other Arab countries of the Persian Gulf due to the cultural and religious affinities between the people of the two countries, to the extent that, from the point of view of regional observers, the Bahrainis are the most similar people of the Persian Gulf to the Iranian nation. This historical connection makes the Islamic Republic always pay attention to the stability of Bahrain, and contrary to the claims of the media, the Islamic Republic of Iran has always supported peace and stability in Bahrain despite the disconnection of relations and problems between them.
