US Middle East ally strips citizenship from 69 in crackdown on pro-Iran support
Bahrain has stripped 69 individuals of their citizenship for allegedly supporting Iran, including 'glorifying' hostile actions and maintaining foreign ties, under a law allowing revocation over national security concerns.
