Bahrain follows Saudi Arabia, cuts ties with Iran

Bahrain announces that it cuts diplomatic ties with Iran, a day after Saudi Arabia cut ties with the Islamic Republic.

Iranian diplomats in Manama were requested to leave the small Gulf kingdom within 48 hours, according to a report in Reuters.

Saudi Arabia cut ties with Iran yesterday, after the execution of a Shiite cleric by Riyadh brought tensions between the Sunni and Shiite state to a boiling point.
