Bahrain Mirror: Bahrain's King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa said that Bahrain has compelling evidence of Iran's flagrant interference in its internal affairs.

He said in a statement before the leader of the Gulf States and in the presence of the US President Barack Obama that the Gulf States face what he described as blatant interference from the Iranian side in their internal affairs, stressing that Bahrain "has compelling evidence of the flagrant interference in its internal affairs. This blatant interference contravenes the UN Charter and the principles of good neighbourliness and violates the countries' independence and sovereignty."

The king added that the GCC States are cooperating with the United States now in order to "develop a missile defense system to protect the region from the risk of ballistic missiles, underlining the importance of intensifying this military cooperation in a way that fosters security and stability in the region that confront spread of extremist and terror groups due to the collapse of national state in a number of Arab states."
