NEW YORK — Sheikh Khalid Bin Ahmed al-Khalifa, Bahrain’s foreign minister, welcomes a trend toward normalization between the United States and Iran, but has not yet seen a substantial shift in Iran’s policy toward Bahrain.
“We’ve seen some change, not a total change,” Sheikh Khalid told Al-Monitor on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. “We have heard that they wanted to turn a new page in the region, but when it came to Bahrain, some of the old language still lingers.”
