NASSAU, Bahamas — The Bahamas is seeking to “beef up security” until there is a de-escalation in tension between the United States and Iran, Minister of Foreign Affairs Darren Henfield said on Monday.
According to the Nassau Guardian, Henfield said the government has spoken to officials at the U.S. Embassy in Nassau about security concerns.
“We’re watching it very closely for any fallout that may come from it economically or otherwise,” Henfield told reporters at Government House. “We’re watching it very closely for the security posture that we have to take. As I indicated, we spoke with the American embassy. Our commissioner of police, commander of the defense, they’re talking to them about any need to beef up security in the interim until this thing cools down.” See full Nassau Guardian article at https://thenassauguardian.com/2020/01/07/bahamas-seeking-to-beef-up-security-amid-u-s-iran-tensions/?fbclid=IwAR0EUMaAb7YRswDWY7pslql0q-ssTC0rY7iMZapZFZZ6HM5I7pzsQCG8cjg
