The US signed an agreement with Bahrain to enhance defence and economic ties, a show of support for the Gulf monarchy that a decade ago faced an arms embargo. Bahrain -- which has tense relations with nearby Iran -- is already home to the US Navy's Fifth Fleet, but the agreement will solidify the relationship both symbolically and by boosting cooperation, including through a commitment to share intelligence.
Bahrain represents an easily attainable objective in the administration's efforts to establish a comprehensive defense, intelligence, and deterrence network throughout the Persian Gulf region. This includes promoting the acquisition and utilization of compatible U.S. security equipment and formulating a collaborative strategy to deter potential Iranian aggression.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken said before a signing ceremony with Bahrain's Crown Prince, Prime Minister Salman bin Hamad al-Khalifa, “The agreement will allow us to even better determine or respond to threats as they arise.”
