  • A guide to illicit Iranian weapon transfers: The Bahrain file

    A new Atlantic Council report, “A Guide to Illicit Iranian Weapon Transfers: The Bahrain File,” by illicit weapon flows expert Tim Michetti, offers a comprehensive, field-based case study on illicit Iranian weapon flows. This report is based on a confidential assessment of the materiel procurement networks of militants operating inside Bahrain.

  • Once-Reformist Crown Prince Takes the Helm as PM in Bahrain

    Viewed early on as a reformist within the ruling family, Sheikh Salman, 51, was instrumental in short-lived efforts to restore parliamentary life to the small Gulf Arab country and build trust between the Sunni Muslim royal family and a Shiite majority that had long complained of discrimination. Those efforts, opposed by the formidable prime minister Sheikh Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa, who died Wednesday at the age of 84, came apart as the Arab Spring uprising swept the island in 2011.

  • Bahrain’s longest serving prime minister, Prince Khalifa Al Khalifa, dies at 84

    Khalifa took office a day after Bahrain declared independence from Britain, in August 1971.

The Middle East countries signed a joint communique on 18 October to formalise their nascent ties. Bahrain is one of three Arab countries - along with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Sudan - to agree to the normalisation of relations.

  • Israel, Bahrain sign deal establishing formal ties

    The U.S.-brokered agreement capped a one-day visit by a high-level delegation of American and Israeli officials to Bahrain. Bahrain joined the United Arab Emirates at a festive White House ceremony last month marking the “Abraham Accords,” a pair of U.S.-brokered diplomatic pacts with Israel. While the UAE’s deal with Israel formally established ties, the agreement with Bahrain was less detailed and included a mutual pledge to follow suit.
