Bahrain travel advice: regional tensions risk

The UK FCDO updated its travel advice for Bahrain, no longer advising against all but essential travel, but noting the Middle East situation remains unpredictable. Since 8 July, Iran has conducted strikes and retaliatory attacks in several locations, including Bahrain, against US military and civilian infrastructure. There is a risk of further attacks and escalation. British nationals are advised to prepare for flight cancellations, airspace closures, and travel disruptions, stay away from security facilities, and keep travel documents up to date.
