Bahrain Mirror: The semi-official Iranian Mehr News Agency stated that the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs rejected "the allegations of a Bahraini security official against Iran" and called on the Bahraini officials "to provide the necessary conditions for serious talks instead of adopting a security and sectarian approach."

The news agency reported from a ministry official who refused to disclose his name that "in the past few years, it has been proved that false projection and placing blames on others by Bahraini officials have not only (failed to) solved any of the problems of the Arab country but have also further complicated the matters."

The official advised "the Bahraini officials to provide the necessary conditions for serious talks by taking trust-building measures instead of adopting a security and sectarian approach," the news agency stated.

Bahrain alleged it had seized explosives and detonation materials designated for use in Bahrain, adding that the accused have been trained by Iran's Revolutionary Guards and Hezbollah Brigades in Iraq.
