The Pentagon called Bahrain an important partner Thursday, according to Reuters reports, and urged restraint after police stormed a protest camp in central Manama, killing three people.

‘As a longtime ally and home to the U.S. Navy’s Fifth Fleet, Bahrain is an important partner and the department is closely watching developments there,’ Pentagon spokesman Col. Dave Lapan told Reuters.

‘We also call on all parties to exercise restraint and refrain from violence,’ Lapan said.
