No Bahrain bases for US to launch attacks on Iran
MANAMA: Bahrain’s parliament overwhelmingly approved a ban on US military staging attacks on Iran from bases in Bahrain, the independent daily Al Wasat reported on Wednesday.
In the vote late Tuesday, the 40-member lower chamber of parliament voted 39-0 in favour of the ban, the paper said. Only lawmaker Jassim al-Saeedi abstained from voting in a gesture that implied he did not object to the United States striking Iran. The decision of the lower chamber, into which legislators are elected, is binding. The parliament’s upper chamber did not vote on the ban.
