Bahrain said on Wednesday that it had dismantled an Iran-linked "terror" cell that was planning attacks in the kingdom, amid a growing diplomatic crisis between Gulf states and Tehran.

The cell - allegedly linked to Iran's Revolutionary Guard and Lebanon's Tehran-backed Hezbollah militia - was planning to carry out a "series of dangerous bombings" on the tiny Gulf island, Bahrain's interior ministry said in a statement.
