Iran said Saturday that Bahrain is now partner to the "crimes" of the “Israeli” entity after the two announced a deal to normalize relations after decades of animosity.

"The rulers of Bahrain will from now on be partners to the crimes of the Zionist regime as a constant threat to the security of the region and the world of Islam," the foreign ministry said in a statement.

Iran accused the “Israeli” entity of “decades of violence, slaughter, war, terror and bloodshed in oppressed Palestine and the region”.

Through this “shameful” deal, Tehran continued, Bahrain has "sacrificed the Palestinian cause at the altar of American elections. [Its] result will undoubtedly be growing anger and the lasting hatred of the oppressed people of Palestine, Muslims and the free nations of the world."

The Friday announcement by US President Donald Trump made Bahrain the second Arab country in a month, after the United Arab Emirates [UAE], to normalize ties with the “Israeli” entity under US sponsorship.

Leader of the Islamic Revolution His Eminence Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei said earlier this month that the UAE had “betrayed” the Muslim world and that he hoped they would "soon wake up and compensate for what they have done”.

Saudi Arabia has made no comment on the Bahrain agreement and has held back from striking a similar deal of its own.

It has reiterated its longstanding position that the “Israeli” entity must first sign an internationally recognized “peace” accord with the Palestinians.
