Sheikh Abdullah noted that in talks with the Biden administration, including a recent conversation with a senior US State Department official who visited Bahrain, he heard strong US support for the Abrahamic Accords. To help, "he said." As for their public use in the name of the Abrahamic Covenants you have to ask them. "

The Bahraini Foreign Minister expressed strong opposition to a US return to the nuclear deal with Iran.

“What did we achieve as a result of the nuclear deal?” He said.

"Nothing positive came out of it. King Hemed sent a letter to the Iranian president immediately after the signing of the nuclear deal and congratulated him, but two days later we thwarted an Iranian attempt to smuggle weapons and explosives into Bahrain."

Sheikh Abdullah noted that the Biden administration has been consulting with the Gulf states on the Iranian issue since taking office.

"They listen to our concerns and they are very open with us and we are happy with that," he said.

Bahraini's Deputy Foreign Minister met today with President Herzog and Foreign Minister Lapid and held talks with Foreign Ministry Director General Alon Ushpiz on promoting relations between the two countries.
