There is no doubt that some in Iran have an unhealthy focus on Bahrain, as some of the broadcast coverage shows.

Bahrain is very dear to me.

I care about Bahrain.

May Allah guide us to the good of the kingdom of Bahrain and its loyal people.

The decision to open up Bahrain to embrace all people indiscriminately was fostered in me ever since I was a child.

There are no 'political prisoners' as such in Bahrain. People are not arrested because they express their views, we only have criminals.
