Warned, "The Washington Institute for Near East Policy," American Research from the effects of the crisis in Bahrain on the stability of regional security, focusing on the idea that the roots of popular protests in Bahrain, an internal, rather than linked to the interventions of Iran, saying reports of a split within the ruling Al Khalifa family in Manama.
Having pointed out that Saudi Arabia and the UAE "acted against the wishes of the United States last month sent troops to support the government of King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa," said American scholar Simon Henderson that "there is a growing threat posed by Iran, and that this issue strained relations with regional security."

U.S. researcher said, "It seems that the roots of the problem lies in the frustration felt by the Shiite island of reforms proposed by King Hamad in 2002 and developed an institutional framework to put them second-class citizens instead of working to remove it."
On the division of the Bahraini royal family, Henderson said that "there is a split between hardliners and those who claim to more conciliatory approach." He pointed out that "the forces enter Saudi Arabia and the UAE came a day after one of the son of King Hamad and Crown Prince Salman make a statement on 13 March pledged to personally start a national dialogue aimed at developing principles include" the election of the parliament has the power to complete, and the formation of a government representing the will of the people, and vote in the constituencies is fair. "
Despite the conciliatory letter to the Bahraini Crown Prince Salman in April 8 this, Henderson said "It is believed that there are still other members of the royal family follow a more rigorous, and less comprehensive."
According to Henderson, including typed "New York Times", following the troops entered Saudi Arabia to Bahrain on 14 March, that King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia told Obama that Saudi Arabia will never allow the Shiites to rule the State of Bahrain.
He said that Saudi Arabia and the UAE, "seem to see Bahrain as a red line in the regional confrontation with Iran, which is likely to become a dominant nuclear-armed."
And linking the report, "The Washington Institute," between the position of each of the leaders of Saudi Arabia, UAE, between what happened to the former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak, where "they will consider the disposal of Washington, which represents doing suddenly withdraw its support of Mubarak, who was the ally for a long time, also ask whether they are the ones who will put their to the sea in the subsequent phase. "
In conclusion, Henderson, a researcher at the "Institute of Washington," saying that "The bad news is that the United States and its allies in the Gulf are at odds over how to achieve political progress in Bahrain. And if you did not find a solution to this issue, will be Washington's relations with Manama more problematic, and prone to exploitation by Iran. "
