Bahrain Arrests 6 for Posting Videos Praising Iranian Attacks

According to the ministry, the suspects were identified by the Anti-Cybercrime Directorate, which said the videos were circulated through social media accounts and could mislead public opinion, spread fear among citizens and residents, and harm security and public order in Bahrain.
