Bahrain has ordered the expulsion of a senior Iranian diplomat over alleged links to a Kuwaiti spy ring, state media reports. Last month Kuwait expelled three Iranian diplomats for alleged involvement in a spy ring.
The latest expulsion comes amid increasing tensions between Sunni-led Bahrain and predominantly Shia Iran.
Relations between Manama and Tehran worsened in March, after Bahrain invited troops from neighbouring Sunni states to help contain its pro-democracy uprising, led largely by the country's Shia majority.
