The mullahs’ regime since a while back has tried to pursue its expansionist policies and agenda in Bahrain under the supervision of the mullahs’ Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s office. <\/p>\n
The regime’s ambassador to Bahrain, Amir Abdollahian, has said that Bahrain’s role among members of the Gulf Cooperation Council is an indicator of regional attitude toward the regime, adding, “First, Bahrain has a significant strategic status, and second there are Iranian nationals in Bahrain. Moreover, the majority of the population there is Muslim, 65 to 70 percent of whom are Shiites. All this has yielded certain sensitivities toward Bahrain. If there is positive or negative development in Bahrain regarding Iran, one can quickly sense its reverberations across other Gulf states.”<\/p>\n
According to an internal regime report, some of the mullahs’ plans to infiltrate and create crises in Bahrain are as follows:<\/p>\n
1. Recruiting forces, especially Bahrain’s youth, through local proxies and formation of various groups called “revolutionary youth of Bahrain”;
2. Establishing relations with Shiite Muslim groups in Bahrain. In this regard, an individual identified as Sheikh Ghasem, chair of the Shiite Clergy Council of Bahrain is continually summoned to Iran for briefings;
3. Creating instability in Bahrain under the guise of “Shiite revolt in Bahrain”;
4. Exporting drugs on a wide scale;
5. Infiltrating Bahrain’s media and encouraging them to support Iran’s policies.<\/p>\n
Pursuing these policies by the mullahs’ regime in Bahrain and meddlesome remarks from regime officials, including former speaker of mullahs' Majlis (parliament), Nateq Nouri, have now led to conflict and crisis in relations between Bahrain and the mullahs’ regime.<\/p>\n
Of course, the scope of the regime’s meddling in Bahrain cannot be limited to these examples. The mullahs’ Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and the Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) are also very active in this country when it comes to creating plots and “exporting the revolution.”<\/p>\n
