Summary
Fifteen suspects were detained in Bahrain after intelligence investigations tied them to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and to an earlier case involving alleged Iranian agents.
The Interior Ministry said the group acted as field operatives, spreading incitement and trying to influence citizens—especially youths and adolescents—to commit criminal acts.
Legal procedures are underway against those arrested, while authorities said investigations continue into other people suspected of involvement.
The arrests follow Bahrain's claim that its defense forces intercepted and destroyed three Iranian missiles and several drones aimed at civilian sites in the kingdom.
