—❗️🇮🇷 NEW: The Basij, Iran's paramilitary volunteers, have set up checkpoints all across the country and are inspecting every vehicle that passes to check for possible suspicious activity

In many locations, these are initiatives of the people themselves, and 'village guards' have been set up in rural areas.

— 🇮🇷/🇧🇭 NOTE: Bahrain was officially Iran's 14th Province from 1957 until 1971

The grandfather of the current Emir, Sheikh Salman bin Hamad Al-Khalifah, who ruled Bahrain at that time, pledged allegiance to Iran in 1958, a year after Bahrain was officially declared an Iranian province.

Before 1957, Iran considered Bahrain as a part of Fars Province, despite exercising no effective control over the island, which was ruled mostly by the British, together with Qatar and the Trucial States (UAE) in what was known as the 'Persian Gulf Residency', a subdivision of the British Empire.

But, throughout the majority of Bahrain's history, it was a Persian island, and for this reason the country is still majority Shia until this day, and many Bahraini citizens have Iranian ancestry and pro-Iran political views.
