Iranian Threats Force Bahrain to Impose Indefinite Nighttime Maritime Ban

Under the new regulations, a total ban is in place for all vessels, including fishing boats and leisure crafts, from 6:00 PM to 4:00 AM local time daily. Bahrain’s Interior Minister emphasized that these measures are essential due to the high-risk environment created by potential Iranian strikes. Authorities have urged citizens, residents, and tourists to strictly adhere to the schedule and avoid coastal areas. The Ministry warned that any violations would result in severe legal consequences as security forces maintain high alert along the shoreline.
