The kingdom of Bahrain has stopped negotiations with Iran concerning importing natural gas,” a senior Bahraini official told AFP on condition of anonymity. “The decision was taken after the regretful remarks that touch on Bahrain’s sovereignty and do not support the relations between the two countries.” An Iranian official allegedly said last week that Sunni-ruled Bahrain, which has a Shiite majority, used to be Iran’s 14th governorate and once had a representative in its parliament.
