Bahrain strips dozens of citizenship over Iran support

Bahrain’s Interior Ministry said on Monday (April 27, 2026) that the Gulf kingdom revoked the citizenship of 69 individuals for their support of Iran after weeks of Iranian attacks on Gulf states beginning in late February.

The Ministry, in a statement, listed the dozens stripped of their citizenship, which it said included dependents, adding they “were found to have supported hostile Iranian acts, including colluding with foreign entities”.
