Bahrain has begun implementing a national initiative to document its response to recent Iranian attacks, with officials describing the effort as part of a broader commitment to preserving the kingdom’s record of resilience, security and national unity.
The National Resilience Documentation Committee held its first meeting at the headquarters of the Bahrain Centre for Strategic, International and Energy Studies (Derasat) in Awali, chaired by Transportation and Telecommunications Minister Abdulla bin Ahmed Al Khalifa, who also serves as chairman of Derasat’s board of trustees.
Committee members expressed appreciation for the royal order establishing the body, which was tasked with monitoring and documenting the attacks Bahrain says it faced from Iran and recording the country’s response.
During the meeting, officials emphasised that the initiative aims to consolidate the national narrative surrounding the events and document the role played by state institutions and society in confronting the challenges.
Abdulla bin Ahmed Al Khalifa said Bahrain had succeeded in maintaining its security and protecting its sovereignty through the guidance of the country’s leadership. He also praised the efforts of the Bahrain Defence Force, National Guard, Interior Ministry and other security agencies involved in safeguarding the kingdom.
The committee reviewed mechanisms for carrying out its mandate and examined the framework for the National Resilience documentation project.
Members also approved an executive plan outlining procedures for collecting, classifying and preserving documents and materials related to the events. The process will be conducted in accordance with Bahrain’s laws governing the protection of official information and documents.
Officials said the project is intended to create a comprehensive historical record of Bahrain’s response, highlighting institutional coordination, defence efforts and community solidarity during a period of heightened regional tensions.
