The Political Council of the February 14 Coalition: King Hamad Is Struggling Politically After the Failure of the Attack on Iran
The Political Council of the February 14 Youth Revolution Coalition said that King Hamad Al Khalifa is experiencing fear, tension, and deep anxiety because of the failure of the American-Israeli attack on Iran to achieve its goals. The group said this has caused him to act irrationally and politically unstable by carrying out mass arrests, revoking citizenships, forcing families into exile, and targeting religious scholars, mosque imams, and Friday preachers.
In posts published on its official X account, the council said that targeting religious scholars through humiliating arrests and fabricated charges is an attack on the identity and existence of the Bahraini people. It added that King Hamad would not escape punishment for these actions.
The council also stated that after May 9, 2026, removing King Hamad, his supporters, and his mercenaries is no longer only a political or revolutionary goal, but what it described as a national rescue plan to save Bahrain from corruption, dictatorship, oppression, and exploitation.
The statement further claimed that the history of the Al Khalifa family includes massacres, destruction of villages and homes, forced displacement, and persecution of Bahrain’s original population. It said religious scholars and religious institutions have always been targeted, but despite decades of pressure, the rulers failed to erase the people’s identity or roots.
Regarding the Bahraini Interior Ministry’s publication of an alleged plot along with images of senior religious scholars, the council described this as an insult to religious authorities and sacred beliefs. It said the government’s actions would only increase public anger and rejection.
The council concluded by saying that the ruling establishment is entering a stage of weakness and collapse because of the recent arrests and detention of religious scholars, and that these actions will not save it from what the group described as an approaching downfall.
