Iran calls crackdown on Bahraini protesters "strategic mistake"

Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast expressed concern over the violent crackdown on Bahraini protesters, calling the action a strategic mistake.

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Mehmanparast said that Bahrain is making a strategic mistake by showing violence against the protesters who are demanding for their legitimate rights.

He criticized some Western countries who claim to be the advocate of democracy and human rights, but remain silent on the crackdown of Bahraini protesters.

Mehmanparast noted the most proper strategy to resolve the country's problem is to pay attention to Bahraini people's legal demands and end the crackdown on Bahraini protesters.

He called on the withdrawal of foreign military forces from the country.
