Bahrain announced on Monday it was cutting diplomatic ties with Iran, a day after Saudi Arabia also severed relations with Tehran.
Saudi Arabia cut ties with regional rival Iran on Sunday after Iranian protesters attacked its mission there, angered by the kingdom’s decision to execute a leading Shiite cleric.
“Bahrain decided to break off diplomatic relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran and calls upon all members of the mission to leave the kingdom within 48 hours,” state news agency BNA reported.
