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, citing national security concerns and violations of loyalty under its nationality law. The move follows recent Iranian attacks on U.S. military assets in the region and broader Gulf-wide crackdowns on pro-Iran activities. The government said those targeted were of non-Bahraini origin and had engaged in actions such as glorifying Iranian strikes and maintaining foreign ties. The decision has drawn criticism from human rights groups over lack of due process.
