DUBAI: Bahrain recalled its ambassador from Iran on Thursday and ordered Tehran’s envoy to leave within 72 hours, the official BNA news agency reported.

The Gulf kingdom of Bahrain, with a majority Shia population ruled by a Sunni dynasty, has suffered from unrest since a pro-democracy uprising in 2011.

Bahrain frequently accuses predominantly Shia Iran of meddling in its affairs.
