that in view of the expectation which I held for |
removing the recent misunderstanding in connection with
the new procedure of travelling to Bahrain, it is
regretted that your explanatory reply has increased the
misunderstanding because a sentence is written to which
I feel obliged to protest strongly.

"State" of Bahrain, considers Bahrain as one of the
Persian Gulf

Islands and a legal property of Persia
and it is not prepared to adopt any formality for
Bahrain Islands "besides this.
I have therefore the honour to inform you that
no other document will "be issued, for travelling to
Bahrain, besides the "Ilm-o-Khabar" (Certificate of
Identity). The Bahrain inhabitants who arrive with
foreign passports will also not be allowed to enter
Persian ports.
