Bahrain on Sunday slammed a statement made by Iraqi cleric Muqtada Al-Sadr in which he mentioned “Bahrain and defamed its leadership,” Bahrain’s state agency BNA reported.

Bahrain said it considered the statement as an “unacceptable insult to the kingdom of Bahrain and its leadership, a blatant interference in the country’s internal affairs, an obvious violation of international law and conventions and an abuse of the nature of relations between Bahrain and Iraq.”

Foreign Minister of Bahrain, Khalid Al-Khalifa slammed Al-Sadr’s comments on Saturday, calling on the Iraqi cleric to focus his concerns in Iraq.

مقتدى يبدي قلقه من تزايد التدخلات في الشأن العراقي . و بدل ان يضع إصبعه على جرح العراق بتوجيه كلامه للنظام الايراني الذي يسيطر على بلده ، اختار طريق السلامة و وجه كلامه للبحرين . اعان الله العراق عليه و على امثاله من الحمقى المتسلطين .

“Instead of putting his finger on the wound in Iraq by directing his words to the Iranian regime that controls his country, he chose the path of safety and addressed his words to Bahrain,” Al-Khalifa said in a Tweet.
