The government of Bahrain fears Iran's nuclear ambitions and Hamas' control of the Palestinian government, Ambassador Naser M. Y. Al Belooshi said Wednesday at a private reception.
"We feel very unsafe. We are not sure that something like Chernobyl will not happen again," Al Belooshi said. "We would like to see a more united front against Iran. The United States is leading the charge, and other countries should follow."
Al Belooshi also said Bahrain would not finance the Palestinian Authority under Hamas' leadership. "We are concerned about cutting aid to the Palestinians, but we do not want terrorism to prosper. We would like Hamas to sit with Israeli officials and negotiate peace," he said.
