Dar reiterated Pakistan’s support for Bahrain and its citizens, emphasizing the importance of de-escalation, dialogue and initiatives to promote regional peace and stability.
The call followed an Iranian drone attack on Bahrain’s Sitra island, injuring 32 people overnight, as Gulf countries reported further attacks and Tehran stepped up retaliatory strikes in the region.
All of the injured were Bahraini citizens, and there were four “serious cases”, including children, the Health Ministry said in a statement carried by the official news agency.
