Protests
Bahraini citizens and activists have protested outside of the embassy for various reasons, including anti-Iraq War demonstrations, the presence of the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet in Bahrain, and to protest Israeli actions in the Middle East. Because the governments of Israel and Bahrain do not have formal diplomatic relations, the U.S. is seen by some as a proxy for the Israeli government.
