Iranian FM Warns against Continued Militarism in Bahrain

FARS NEWS AGENCY: TEHRAN - Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi in a meeting with UAE Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai Muhammad Bin Rashid al-Maktum warned that foreign military intervention in Bahrain would further deteriorate the conditions in the Arab Persian Gulf country.

"Intervention of foreign forces in Bahrain further complicates the situation and continuing this policy and continued militarism will merely intensify the crisis (in Bahrain)," Salehi said at the meeting in Abu Dhabi on Sunday. 



He further pointed out that the present crisis in Bahrain could only be soothed through collective efforts, adoption of wise policies, withdrawal of foreign forces, proper response to the legitimate demands of the Bahraini people, and respect for Bahrain's sovereignty and independence. » | FNA | Monday, May 09, 2011
