“Iran reserves the right to hit back.”-Ramin Mehmanparast, Iran’s Foreign Ministry

Bahrain has ordered the second secretary in the Iranian embassy, Hujatullah Rahmani, to leave within 72 hours.  They accuse him of being a spy for Kuwait.

Of course the accusation comes after Kuwait seemingly switched sides.  Originally Kuwait supported the Saudi Arabian led invasion of Bahrain, but has backed off, and even made statements, in conjunction with Iran, condemning Bahrain.

Ironically Kuwait has also made statements supporting the Bahraini government.  It seems Kuwait is trying to play on both sides of the fence.  Iran has expelled three Kuwaiti diplomats, and is threatening to expel Bahraini diplomats as well.

The United States accuses Iran of interfering with Syria, and Iran accuses the U.S. of interfering in Bahrain.
