Dar reiterated Pakistan’s support for Bahrain and its citizens, emphasising the importance of de-escalation, dialogue, and initiatives to promote regional peace and stability.
The call comes after an Iranian drone attack on the island of Sitra in Bahrain, injuring 32 people overnight, as Gulf nations reported new attacks with Tehran pressing its retaliatory strikes across the region.
All of the wounded were Bahraini citizens, and there were four “serious cases”, including children, the health ministry said in a statement carried by the state news agency.
