The Statement of Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi Concerning the Recent Tragedy in Bahrain

The rulers of Bahrain have caused a new tragedy, out of their blind allegiance to Saudi Arabia and the United States, by their cowardly raid on the house of the great cleric and scholar, Ayatollah Shaykh Isa Ghāsim.
