Bahrain's Interior Ministry announced the arrest of 41 individuals tied to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Iran's primary militant arm active in the kingdom, on Saturday.

State media reports indicate these suspects served as the "core" element of the terrorist group operating within Bahrain's borders.

Authorities charged the men with espionage on behalf of foreign actors and showing support for Iran's aggressive moves.

"Ongoing investigations will pursue all required actions against those involved in this group's operations and any unlawful conduct," the Interior Ministry declared in its official release.

Bahrain Drives Effort to Hold Iran Accountable for War Crimes

As one of the Gulf nations hardest hit by the Iran conflict, Bahrain endured repeated attacks on its civilian sites and energy facilities throughout the intense month of fighting.

The kingdom also suffered major economic blows from the Strait of Hormuz shutdown, fueling its recent push for a U.S.-sponsored UN resolution urging Iran to end assaults and mining in the vital passage.

On Tuesday, UN Security Council members launched closed-door discussions on a draft resolution co-authored by the U.S. alongside Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and Qatar - a measure that, if adopted, might trigger sanctions on Iran or even permit military intervention should Tehran continue targeting shipping.

Monday's burst of fresh hostilities emphasized the high risks, with the U.S. and Iran clashing for supremacy over the narrow chokepoint critical to worldwide energy flows and commerce, eroding a tenuous four-week ceasefire and bolstering opposing naval restrictions.

An earlier Bahrain-led proposal, supported by Washington and seeming to pave the way for legitimizing strikes on Iran, collapsed last month when Russia and China cast vetoes in the 15-nation Security Council.
