Bahrain welcomed on Monday the United States’ decision to designate as terrorist the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), reported Bahrain’s new agency (BNA).

The Foreign Ministry stressed the importance of this decision in addressing the dangerous role played by the IRGC as a “destabilizing force and a main contributor to the spread of violence and terrorism across the Middle East and the entire world.”

It reiterated its appreciation for the relentless efforts of the United States in confronting Iran’s “hostile and terrorist activities and its negative interference in the internal affairs of the region’s countries.”

It also expresses its hope for resolute and effective action by the international community to pressure Tehran to halt its support for terrorist organizations and militias, to respect the independence and sovereignty of states and to immediately stop undermining regional and international peace and security.
