Iranian Foreign Ministry reiterated that Bahraini rulers will be accomplice to crimes of the Zionist regime as permanent threat to security of the region and the Muslim World and as the root cause of violence, slaughter, conflict, terror and bloodshed in Palestine and the region as well.

The Zionist regime of Israel and the UAE in a joint statement on August 13 officially normalized relations. Earlier, Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has betrayed the Islamic world, Arab states, the regional countries, and Palestine, with letting the Zionist regime into the region. They let the Zionists into the region and consigned the issue of Palestine, which is the issue of usurping a country by normalizing their relations, the Leader said: "The UAE rulers opened the door to the region to the Zionists, and they have ignored and normalized the question of Palestine, which is a question about the usurpation of a country. This stigma will remain on them." Despite the fact that the Palestinians are under severe pressure from different directions, the UAE is cooperating with the Israelis and the Americans, including that Jewish person who is present in the Trump family, against the interests of the Islamic world and deal with absolute cruelty with the Islamic world, he noted.
