Bahrain Mirror: Iran's Foreign Ministry denounced in a statement the Government of Bahrain's move to strip top Bahraini Shiite cleric Sheikh Isa Qassim of his nationality, and condemned what it described as "the Bahraini regime's intensification of its security approach toward religious and national leaders."

The ministry stressed that such measures would dash any hope of reform in Bahrain through dialogue and peaceful means, urging the government to end the ongoing illegal measures.

It further called on the Bahraini government to avoid the destruction of all bridges of communication with the people and moderate leaders of the country, and hold a serious national dialogue to find a solution for the current crisis in Bahrain.
