Traffic restrictions have also been lifted. The Ministry of Interior had earlier urged residents to stay off the roads unless absolutely necessary and stick to main routes. This was part of a safety-first approach after the regional situation escalated. Now, traffic movement across the island is back to normal. The ministry thanked everyone for their cooperation and patience during the temporary measures.

Bahrain also shifted all public and private educational institutions, from kindergartens to universities, to remote learning from June 22. This move was a response to the US airstrikes and aimed at keeping students and staff safe. Classes moved online, with schools and universities instructed to continue teaching through digital platforms until further notice.
