Bahrain imposes maritime ban until further notice amid Iranian attacks

MANAMA, March 29 (Saudi Arabia Breaking News) – Bahrain has announced a maritime ban that will remain in place until further notice to protect the Gulf nation’s coasts amid ongoing attacks from Iran.

The ban applies to seafarers using fishing and leisure vessels and will be enforced daily from 6 p.m. until 4 a.m. local time, the interior ministry said on Sunday.

The ministry said the measures were being enforced because of what it described as blatant Iranian aggression and the serious risks it posed to the safety of citizens and residents.

Authorities urged all seafarers to comply with the maritime ban timings and avoid approaching the coasts to ensure their safety and avoid legal accountability.
