  "account": "Bahrain has pledged its full support for Saudi Arabia and strongly condemned the ongoing Houthi attacks against the Kingdom. These attacks have targeted civilian and economic sites in Saudi Arabia, including the holy cities of Makkah and Madinah. The Bahraini Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized that these assaults represent a blatant threat to Saudi Arabia's security and the stability of the region. The ministry affirmed Bahrain's support for Saudi Arabia's efforts within the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen, which aims to put an end to the coup, restore the state and its institutions, eradicate terrorism, and achieve a comprehensive political solution. Bahrain reiterated its complete solidarity with Saudi Arabia and its commitment to all measures taken by the Kingdom to safeguard its security, sovereignty, and the safety of its citizens and residents. This stance is rooted in Bahrain's inherent right to self-defense under Article 51 of the United Nations Charter. The Bahraini Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed that Saudi Arabia's security is intrinsically linked to the security of Bahrain and the Gulf Cooperation Council states, as outlined in the Joint Defense Agreement. The ministry urged the UN Security Council, particularly its permanent members, to fulfill their responsibilities in ending Houthi attacks, protecting maritime security, and ensuring the uninterrupted flow of energy supplies. This includes implementing relevant UN Security Council resolutions, specifically Resolutions 2216 and 2817, to maintain regional and international peace and security.",
