Bahrain's capital Manama is at the center of growing Gulf tensions as Iran's threats escalate, per Reuters. The U.S. former president's recent comments have renewed fears of unintended conflict in the region.

Regional diplomats are seeking diplomatic solutions amid fears of a wider regional war, with UAE officials stating military options offer no quick resolution, ABC News reports.

Meanwhile, Bahrain's economic outlook remains stable despite the unrest, with new business deals and AI banking partnerships announced this week, according to PRNewswire.
