Ten years after an opposition uprising erupted in Bahrain, the myth that Iran was backing opposition activists has become reality and it is troubling not only for Bahrain but for the United States, which has based its Fifth Fleet there for more than six decades.
Bahrain’s uprising of March 2011 unlike rebellions then gripping other Arab countries was largely nonviolent. It was led by a moderate Shi’a group, al Wafeq National Islamic Society, which had participated in Bahraini politics and cooperated with the government for years. Nevertheless, Bahraini officials advanced a media narrative of the uprising as a violent Shi’a resistance movement inspired by Iranian meddling, which prompted participating Sunni Bahrainis to abandon the uprising.

Saraya al-Mukhtar is a Shi’ite Muslim group which has claimed multiple attacks on Bahraini security services since its inception in 2013, some of which have reportedly involved IEDs (improvised explosive devices).
In 2017 the group, also known as the Mukhtar Brigades, said it was behind the hacking of the then-Bahraini Foreign Minister Khalid bin Ahmed Al Khalifa’s Twitter account, to which it uploaded anti-government images and videos.
A 2018 report by the Washington-based Congressional Research Service stated that Saraya al-Mukhtar is an offshoot of the Bahraini militant group, al-Ashtar Brigades. ....
