MANAMA—Bahrain declared a state of emergency and a Saudi soldier was shot and killed a day after Arab Gulf states rushed troops to the island in a bid to quash a growing antigovernment uprising.

Bahrain television said King Hamad bin Isa al-Khalifa had proclaimed a three-month state of "national safety."

Meanwhile, Bahrain slammed Iran's criticism of Gulf forces in the country and recalled its ambassador in Tehran for discussion. Iran had earlier described Saudi's forces deployment in Bahrain as an "occupation."

"Iran's statement is a blatant interference in Bahrain"s internal affairs... which contradicts the simplest principles of good neighborly policy followed by Bahrain with Iran, or with the international laws and the charter of the United Nations," said Hamad Al Amer, undersecretary of the ministry of foreign affairs for regional affairs.
