Apparently an attempt at retaliation for the peace deal with Israel. Iran regards Bahrain as its 19th province; it has a lot of nerve making peace with the “Zionist entity.”
“Reports claim Bahrain stopped militants planning attacks,” by Jon Gambrell, Associated Press, September 20, 2020
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Bahrain broke up a plot by militants backed by Iran to launch attacks on diplomats and foreigners in the island nation home to the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet, Saudi state television and local media reported Sunday, just days after the kingdom normalized relations with Israel.
Details about the claimed plot remained scarce Sunday night as Bahrain’s Interior Ministry and its state media did not acknowledge the arrests publicly. Bahraini government officials, who routinely claim breaking up plots by militants backed by Iran, did not respond to a request for comment….
The Saudi state TV report aired footage of what appeared to be police raiding a home with a hidden passage. The footage showed assault rifles and explosives, apparently seized in the raid.

Glad this plot was foiled.
