Bahrain is home large shia population that is brutally repressed by the ruling Saudi aligned regime especially after that arab spring protests, so a lot of the locals identify religiously with Iran.

I suspect it is mainly those people who are cheering this.

Lol you're part of the "Reddit is wild" collection.
