Bahrain has formally called on Iran to compensate all victims of its ongoing military strikes, warning the UN Security Council that Tehran bears full international legal responsibility for documented losses across the kingdom.
The demand came in Bahrain’s 11th letter to UN officials since the conflict began, filed through the Bahrain News Agency. The communication cited an accumulating record of Iranian aggression: 194 ballistic missiles and 523 hostile drones intercepted by Bahrain air defence systems since February 28, 2026.
Among the casualties recorded in the letter was a Moroccan civilian contractor employed by the UAE Armed Forces, who died during a routine mission in Bahrain. Several personnel from both the Bahrain and UAE defence forces also sustained injuries while responding to the attacks.
The letter catalogued strikes on civilian and industrial sites across the country, naming the Gulf Petrochemical Industries Company, a Bapco Energies storage facility, Aluminium Bahrain, and Foulath Holding Company among the targets. Energy infrastructure in Muharraq Governorate and the Bapco Energies refinery in the Sitra area were also hit, alongside residential areas.
Bahrain accused Iran of pressing forward with attacks even after the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 2817, which had explicitly determined that Iranian strikes against GCC member states and Jordan violated international law and demanded they stop.
The letter stated that Iran is now obligated to provide “full, effective and immediate compensation to all victims for damages and injuries caused by its attacks within or against the Kingdom of Bahrain,” adding that “no exceptions to this obligation are permissible.”
Bahrain also affirmed its right to defend its sovereignty while urging the Security Council to enforce Iranian compliance with international law.
