Bahrain says it arrested group linked to Iran’s IRGC
Bahrain’s interior ministry said on Saturday it had arrested 41 people allegedly linked to a group tied to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the ideology of Velayat-e Faqih (Guardianship of the Jurist).
The ministry said security services uncovered what it described as the group’s “main organization” following intelligence gathering and earlier investigations into cases involving alleged espionage for foreign actors and sympathy with what it called “the blatant Iranian aggression.”
Authorities said legal proceedings against those detained were underway and investigations continued to identify others allegedly involved in the group’s activities.
