Bahrain Mirror: Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hossein Amir Abdollahian felt sorry for what he described as "the sectarian behavior of certain extremist elements within the Bahraini government and their intentional insults to Muslims' religious beliefs" adding that this "has caused a deep rift between the Bahraini government and nation."
In his statements reported by the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA), Abdollahian considered that the "continuation of the systematic violation of human rights and escalation of security atmosphere in Bahrain would just complicate the situation more."
Amir Abdollahian urged the Bahraini Foreign Minister "to think of playing a positive role for the region's security and of bringing reconciliation between the Bahraini government and nation instead of provoking religious sedition in Bahrain and the region."
Abdollahian had already dismissed the allegations made by the Bahraini government that Iran had a hand in the Sitra bomb blast that left two policemen dead and six others injured.
