LONDON: Jordan condemned an Iranian attack on Bahrain that resulted in the death of a Moroccan civilian contractor with the UAE Armed Forces and injuries to several personnel from the Emirati and Bahraini forces.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates on Tuesday condemned Iran’s “heinous” attacks, which “violate Bahrain’s sovereignty and escalate threats to regional security and stability,” according to the Petra news agency.
Jordan expressed full support for Bahrain and the UAE in confronting Iranian attacks, backing their measures to protect sovereignty, security and citizen safety.
The UAE Ministry of Defence said the contractor was killed during a routine mission and added that five of its personnel were also injured in what it described as the “brazen” attack. A statement expressed condolences to the contractor’s family and wished the wounded a speedy recovery.
Jordan, Bahrain and the UAE were among 10 countries that Iran attacked after the US and Israel targeted the country’s military capabilities and killed its top leaders.
King Abdullah of Jordan reiterated that Arab states did not take part in any US-led attacks against Iran, nor did they initiate the current conflict, which began on Feb. 28.
