Bahrain Travel Advice Updated: FCDO Advises Against All But Essential Travel

The UK FCDO has updated travel advice for Bahrain, now advising against all but essential travel. The situation in the Middle East is unpredictable, with Iran conducting strikes against US military and civilian infrastructure in several locations, including Bahrain, since 8 July. On 20 July, the US Embassy in Manama warned that Iran may target unspecified locations in central Manama. British nationals should prepare for flight cancellations, airspace closures, and travel disruptions.
