Iranian statements denounced

Manama, June 22 (BNA): Al Watan newspaper has quashed the "vile, cheeky statements oozing from suspicious persons and organisations, following the Kingdom's decision of denaturalizing Khamenei's agent in Bahrain". "Such statements will never bend Bahrain's strong willpower to enforce its national laws, because our country's sovereignty stands out above all other considerations. We reject any side's interfering whatsoever in our internal affairs or tarnishing the sovereign decisions of our national judiciary," according to Al Watan newspaper. The Bahrain-based newspaper in its editorial column today denounced the "threats issued by Iran's so-called "Sulaimani" against the Kingdom of Bahrain who has not refrained from killing Muslims starting from Basra in the south to Damascus and Aleppo in the north who is culpable for his committing massacres, torture and human rights violations in Arab and Islamic countries. Al Watan denounced the statements issued by evil clerics in Qom about a criminal terrorist who had perpetrated more than 600 terror bomb attacks that claimed the lives of 19 and wounded more than 2235 people, The newspaper added that the Kingdom of Bahrain has always respected the sovereignty of other countries, similarly other countries should respect its sovereignty before anything else. Such respecting of sovereignty comes before any common strategic interests. The advantage of events are that they differentiate who is a foe from who is a true friend and who pretends to be an ally from who is the genuine ally. This is what we see today and what we saw five years ago. Al Watan affirmed: "Such bids at terrorising or menacing incoming from abroad or even the objectionable threats from inside are absolutely nonfrightening. The State with all of its institutions is ready and set to confront any challenges both responsibly and seriously as has always been the case. However, anybody inside who derives his strength from external powers is being misled like his predecessors who are ignoramus about the history of Bahrain and all Bahraini people's rejection of any external interventions in their internal affairs throughout the history of this archipelago, and have defeated the enemy in numerous cases".
