[ORIGINAL TO WORLD POLITICS NEWS] - A tweet posted by Bahrain's foreign minister, Khalid al Khalifa, recognized Israel's right to attack Iran in their recent scuffle in Syria. Bahrain is among several Middle Eastern nations alarmed by Iran's aggressive military actions in the region, and its quest for nuclear weapons. The May 10 Tweet on his official account, @khalidalkhalifa, read: "As long as Iran has breached the status quo in the region and has violates, with its troops and missiles, any state in the region, including Israel, is entitled to defend itself by destroying the sources of danger." The tweet, posted in Arabic, was remarkable in another sense: it was a tacit and explicit recognition of Israel as a "state," something few political leaders in the region will acknowledge publicly. It shows the depths of concern Iran's actions and ambitions have stirred among its neighbors.
