Growing Tension in Iran-Bahrain Relations

Iran today expelled a Bahraini diplomat stationed in Tehran after Bahrain took similar action against an Iranian diplomat posted in Manama. The diplomatic row is the latest developments in the worsening relations between the two countries. The king of Bahrain has accused Iran of being the instigator of the Shia uprising in his country, while senior Iranian leaders have harshly criticized the Bahraini government’s crackdown on peaceful protests by its people and the Saudi and UAE intervention in Bahraini affairs.

The house of Saud and their assorted sheikdoms are only behaving this way because they know they have the solid backing of the US plus they're desperate and have to act somehow.

Unfortunately public opinion is not on their side and this latest move by the PGCC will backfire badly..Time will tell
