This country asked Russia to bring a message, "It hopes to establish diplomatic relations with Iran."
According to a report on the Qatar Al Jazeera website on June 7, Iranian news agencies quoted presidential adviser Mohammad Jamshedi as saying that Bahrain has conveyed its request to establish diplomatic relations with Iran through Russia.
Previously, Bahrain officials have repeatedly stated publicly that Bahrain is open to restoring relations with Iran after years of tense relations between the two countries.
According to the report, Iran News TV quoted Jamshedi as saying that "Bahrain has conveyed a message to Iran through Russia that it hopes to normalize relations with Iran."
Bahrain severed diplomatic ties with Tehran in 2016. Bahrain also accuses Iran of involvement in the anti-government protests that swept the country in 2011.
Last year, with China's mediation, Saudi Arabia and Iran normalized relations.
During a visit to Moscow last month, Bahrain's King Hamad said his country looked forward to improving relations with Iran.
Bahrain's state news agency quoted him as saying there was no reason to delay the restoration of relations between the two countries.
King Hamad reiterated this message during his recent visit to China.
According to the Bahrain News Agency, Hamad said: "As advocates of peace, tolerance and human coexistence, we favor peaceful and diplomatic means rooted in the principles of good neighborliness and non-interference in internal affairs. As neighboring countries, we will seek to restore relations with Iran Diplomatic relations, we welcome China’s support for this effort to promote regional peace and stability.”
The report mentioned that last month, the King of Bahrain sent a message of condolences to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, expressing his condolences for the death of Iranian President Raisi due to a helicopter crash.
