I've Been Thinking:
Bahrain has expelled Iran's charge d'affairs and is recalling its own ambassador back from Iran.
The Iranian diplomat has 72 hours to leave Iran and has been labeled persona non grata. The Iranians have not responded officially. And there has been no press coverage of this by any of official Iranian press agencies.
The Bahrainis say that the Iranian diplomat has been involved in terror activity.
Bahrain is a tiny Island very close to Iran and Saudi Arabia. It is controlled by a minority of Sunnis while the majority of the Island is Shiite. The split is about 15% to 85%, Sunni to Shiite.
For the past four years Bahraini leadership has been complaining that Iran has been provoking and sponsoring revolts, demonstrations and violence against them and, simply put, meddling in the internal issue of Bahrain.
On Thursday 1.5 tons of explosives were discovered in a Shiite terror hideout just outside Bahrain's capital.
There is no doubt that Shiite Iran wants to oust the Sunni leadership of Bahrain.
